New York property seekers keen to find out about the upstate leisure activities that can be enjoyed will have an opportunity to do so at Lake Placid from January 2nd to 4th.

The former winter Olympics venue will host the 4th Annual Whelen Geoff Bodine Bobsled Challenge, when brave competitors will take part in a series of races as part of an event whose receipts will raise funds for the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project, which was set up in 1992 to provide resources for US winter Olympians competing in the sport.

Those keen on buying New York property can be warmly entertained – despite the cold weather – as the bobsleighs, skeletons and other contraptions hurtle past.

Facilities such as Lake Placid offer variety for New York property buyers, providing an alternative to spending more time in the bustle of the vibrant Big Apple.

Lake Placid hosted the winter games of 1932 and 1980 and there is a museum commemorating these events.
