A Winter Paradise Close To Home!

Skiing in the valley means a choice of over 76 slopes and trails, seven lifts, a terrain and tubing park at two West Virginia ski resorts, Canaan Valley Resort State Park and Timberline Four Seasons Resort. Timberline boasts the longest run in the Southeast — the two-mile-long Salamander Run. Canaan Valley’s tubing hill is a hit with kids of all ages!

Skiers have been coming to Canaan Valley and Timberline since the early ’50s. Why? From November to April it’s not uncommon to see the valley blanketed in snow. Canaan Valley’s legendary weather patterns are directly attributed to its elevation and geographical location. With summit elevations jutting over 4,260 feet from the 3,200 foot valley floor and its location directly in the path of winter Nor’easters, Canaan Valley is guaranteed a lot of snow! Most years the annual average stacks up to over 160 inches (that’s over 13 feet!).
