During the 2018 and 2019 seasons, the Lake Placid stop on the World Cup ran an unusual compressed, two-day schedule, with the first races on Friday being women's skeleton. Area elementary schools would send large groups of children to see the race, and a special women's skeleton medal ceremony would be held at lunchtime in conjunction with educational events for the kids, so they and their chaperones could get back to their schools in time for their regular bus.
