We decided to take advantage of the snow that's been falling in Canaan Valley, so we drove up to Whitegrass on the Friday after Thanksgiving. It was a sunny day, not crowded and the snow wasn't skiied out yet. We went up to Roundtop then on to Bald Knob, then up to Weiss Knob via the gas pipeline and did the first tele turns of the season... not bad for the first ski day of the season.
We camped at the State Park, and discovered the bar in the lodge that had $2 WV brewery beers. Then back to van for a celebration dinner and fun tunes on the satellite radio. It was 11 degrees outside when we woke up Saturday morning.
On Saturday we did the "around the world" tour, up Falls Overlook to 3 Mile to Powderline, then up into the "wilderness" area, over cabin mountain to Bald Knob, then down to Boundary trail and Upper Springer then through the woods back to the car.
The snow is great up high, and gets sketchier the lower you get. Here's a bunch of pictures from Saturday...
