Standards have changed greatly since Lake Placid.

Don't think that those stats are correct. Whiteface (Lake Placid)'s vertical is well over 3000', Tremblant is over 2000', Jay Peak is over 2000' (great hill), Mt St Anne is over 2000', Marble is over 1500'.
To Compare, Lake Louise is 3250', St Moritz is 3800'.
