An Après Adventure Destination!

Kick back and relax at the best Aprés ski spot in Jay, NY! Tucked away in the Ridgetop neighborhood of AuSable Acres, the Cottontail Chalet is not your average Aprés Ski destination! Located 10 minutes from Whiteface Mountain and 25 minutes from Lake Placid, our wilderness retreat is the perfect respite.
