I was definitely lucky in that during the two weeks I was in the region, it snowed just about every day in various amounts. Had I planned this solely as a ski trip, it probably wouldn't have snowed at all.

It wasn't entirely a ski trip, but I did get a few days of skiing last week, including blue bird days at Targhee (Tuesday) and Mt. Hood/Timberline (Friday).

This actually turned into a respectable early October snow: http://www.whitegrass.com/report.html .

Canaan Valley, W.Va. from NFS cam.

This isn't a ski trip, but I was in the area. The next time you're in the northwest corner of Slovenia, or the northeast corner of Italy, you might want to check out this quirky resort area. Bovec on the Slovenian side, Sella Nevea on the Italian side, connected by a gondola constructed just...

Thanks. I like to read about these smaller and lesser known places. Nice photos also.

From the photos, it likes like neither that guy nor anyone else was there. Talk about having the place to yourself.

From what was visible, it looks like a beautiful spot. And all to yourself. What's not to like?

You're describing my day there last year with similar snow. And I remember the poma and all the people around me grumbling about all the people falling, and therefore feeling a bit nervous when my turn came. Great photos.

I waited maybe twice all day for a chair or two. 90% of the skiers were on 3 or 4 trails. It was sunny and warmer in the "nearby" metro areas, so I guess people are starting to think about spring. Let's see, the Wasatch or the Alleghenies, the Wasatch or the Alleghenies? I don't think so...

What a beautiful place. Thanks for the photos.

Okay, we don't get to brag very often down this way, and I know we fell well short of the 60" jamesdeluxe enjoyed at Plattekill, but Canaan Valley, 500 miles south of New England, somehow received 20" plus of dry snow from the same storm. It never rained or sleeted and the temps remained below...

Timberline Four Seasons Resort (not to be confused with the more well-known establishments with the same name), is Canaan Valley Resort’s younger sister, and is located just down the road. Nothing fancy about Timberline. It touts itself as a southern resort (“longest trail in the south”)...

Y'all are welcome to come south. Canaan Valley has received nearly 90" the past couple of weeks: http://canaanweather.4t.com/

Canaan Valley does average 160" per year, which apparently is comparable to some NE resorts. The difference is that down here, especially in recent years, we've been prone to Juneuary warm spells from which it's been difficult for the resorts to recover. And that same rain event that you...

By God, you are absolutely right about the thick forests. A lot of saplings, and they don't do much at Canaan to encourage skiing in the trees. There was a fellow from New Hampshire who used to ski with us years ago. He jumped into the trees and made it look so fun and easy I decided to...

A delightful day at that modest ski hill in West Virginia, Canaan Valley. No lift lines, no wind, temps in teens to 20s, and we skied and rode powder. Well, you had to find it here and there--300 feet here, 200 feet there, etc., but it was light, fluffy, deep powder, that even I could ski and...

Canaan Valley regularly has it tough times with the dreaded snow-then-rain-then-freeze, but if any of you Midlantic skiers can take some time off this week, you'll find some pretty good snow. Steady lake effect for past two days and it's supposed to continue for the next three days. (If you...

It's been some time since we had a decent snow here in the Mid-Atlantic. These shots are from Whitetail, Pa south. Snowed heavy and sideways all day. Despite all the snow, there was very little open terrain. But it was great to ski real snow here for a change.

Looking at this evening's animated national radar images, I can get an idea of what you are talking about. I never realized so much moisture could move over north Texas, which is quite arid normally (I think), and end up in the Co mountains.
