"Man, I had a blast yesterday. Food was awesome, staff was awesome, and the trails and weather could hardly have been better. Just be prepared and patient for a crowded lodge and lunch line (100% worth it though!)"

"Fun times at white grass with friends. Lodge was packed but trails are so expansive it didn’t feel crowded. Tons of fresh powder when we went last Sunday. Friendly staff including snow covered parking attendants. Reasonable rental prices! Fun to explore cross country and seemed to have lots of options for mode advanced Nordic skiers looking for downhill."

"This place is more than a ski center it’s a total vibe. Even if you don’t ski you will enjoy the friendly cafe with a unique local character. It’s like a clubhouse filled with fascinating people and local memorabilia. Chip, who runs the place, is a local legend. Everyone was exceptionally friendly. We are perpetual beginners. The woman at the rental counter did a good job of matching us with gear and was patient. We had a really good time."

"What started off in the late '50s as a local ski hill has morphed into arguably one of the best XC-ski touring and snowshoeing centers in the east. Not much has changed since that time. There's a restaurant there... buy one of their cookbooks for some really great recipes. All this on about 2,500 acres in the pristine Canaan Valley of WV."

"We have skied here every year since 2007. The kid program is great way to get started. Once you get up top the whole world changes. Truly a gem and there is no place like White Grass. The chili isn't bad either."

"Amazing. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Took the three mile trail to top and back. Was definitely green both ways. Back at the ski center afterwards it was great to have a nice warm bowl of chili and some Maine Root Beer. A great experience all around. The shop has a great selection of necessary items and trinkets. My favorite was the Tylenol. LOL."
