The Canaan Valley Resort State Park endorsed and will now allow uphill skiing at the Canaan Valley Resort State Park ski area. Uphill skiing shall be permitted during normal ski hill operating hours, 0900-430pm daily, during weekdays and non-holidays.
The Canaan Valley Resort State Park will sell an uphill season pass for a fee of $50.00. The pass will be valid for uphill skiing only. The uphill pass will not allow the pass holder to ride the ski lifts.
Uphill skiing will be permitted on the slopes designated in the daily trail report. The trail report is visible on the Canaan Valley Resort Website. Uphill skiers should know that uphill skiing will not be permitted on unopened slopes where snow-making or grooming operations are ongoing.
The Prosperity and Darkside of the Moon slopes are available for uphill skiing whenever natural snow cover permits.
Uphill skiers will only be permitted to ski downhill on open ski runs.
When going uphill, skiers should stay within 10 feet of the edge of ski runs. Uphill skiers shall avoid traversing into the middle of the ski slopes.
Uphill skiers may use skins, scales, or split boards. Uphill ski equipment must have metal edges and be equipped with ski breaks, leashes, or the standard manufacturer’s safety equipment to prevent runaway skis.
