Many may think that the recent snowfall means staying indoors wrapped up in a heavy blanket cursing the cold for it’s annual arrival. In Tucker County snowfall means tourist are once again flowing into the area for some skiing, tubing, and sledding at one of our local resorts.
At Canaan Valley Resort you can partake in one or more of it’s 43 slopes and trails featuring an 850 foot vertical drop that allows for all skill levels to partake in the fun. They offer skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, tubing, ice skating and more.
At Timberline you can enjoy one of their 37 slopes and trails featuring a vertical drop of 1,000 feet and offering a ski-school to allow for training and upgrading of your skills. While at Timberline enjoying all of the skiing you can also enjoy taking in sleigh ride, attending a ski-in church, or one of the many other memorable and pampered experiences offered there.
Blackwater Falls State Park one of the most famous and photographed places in West Virginia won’t be left out of the winter fun either with it’s offering of more than ten miles of trails available for cross country skiing while sporting the longest sled run on the East Coast at more than a quarter mile long.
Wherever you decide to spend your time in Tucker County this winter you won’t be disappointed with the offering of winter events, majestic snow capped mountain vistas, and the abundance of nature offered by the seemingly endless supply of hiking trails.
