The construction of the new Lake Placid Toboggan Chute in Lake Placid, New York, is nearly complete, but messy ice conditions on Mirror Lake have town officials targeting a Presidents Weekend open for the slide, according to an article on LakePlacidNews.com.

Open only in winter, the Toboggan Chute is a 30-foot high converted ski jump trestle that sends toboggans down ice covered chutes onto frozen Mirror Lake. Depending on weather conditions, toboggans can travel more than 1,000 feet once they reach the frozen lake surface.
