FTA2R Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Hi All, Has anyone ridden WV, VA, or PA resorts (within a few hours of DC ) in the past 48 hours? I've yet to ride this season and my family wants to do a quick weekend trip. We were looking at Wintergreen (VA), but I looking at the forecast and their cams, I just don't think it's going to be worth it this coming weekend - snow is soft and loose (per the cams). I'd consider Snowshoe but not sure it's that much better. Saw a recent article that said that snowfalls throughout much of the MA are significantly lower this year (again). Thanks, Quote
Mellow Yellow Posted March 3, 2019 Report Posted March 3, 2019 Sorry I missed this post! I just got back from Seven Springs in PA. Great coverage and conditions. This week looks good temp and snow wise, they have decent deals on lodging/tickets. Plus, its a great carving mountain. Snowshoe is okay... not my favorite carving mountain. Trails are tight... plus gets pretty crowded.... Quote
fish Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 Snowshoe’s annex called Silver Creek has a couple of nice carving runs I think. I haven’t been there this year. If I’m solo it’s easier to fly to SLC for 4 days. I’m 20 miles north of DC. The drive to Snowshoe gets longer every time I do it! One neat thing about the shoe is the abundance of southern accents and good manners. Seven Springs is good. Good coverage. A handful of solid carving runs. It’s a good destination if you have your family in tow. They have lots of entertainment options. Plus the breakfast buffet at the main lodge is outstanding. I like that the place employs cool locals. Coverage has been solid this season. My closest hills are liberty, Whitetail, and Roundtop. All 3 are working. Everything is covered. Whitetail has the only detachable quad lift. All others at the three closest PA hills are fixed. On a crowd-free day you can get a lot of turns off that quad! Quote
Longboarder09 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Posted January 11, 2020 Has anyone in the Mid-Atlantic started their season yet? Do Canaan Valley or Wisp have any decent carving trails? Quote
dingbat Posted January 29, 2020 Report Posted January 29, 2020 Started their season yet? i think Mellow was making turns in Northern Cackalacky mid November this year. I was sitting buy the wood stove and complaining so that's at least two of us. 1 Quote
