March 8 at 1:31 pm We went weekend of March 6, 2010. Best skiing conditions I have experienced since my childhood in Canada. Short lines, natural snow, friendly staff. I wanted my son to experience this type of skiing and he did.
You can sometimes be the only person in the whole run. This is not possible during daytime on weekends at the 'near-DC' resorts or at Snowshoe. They only run the triple if it is needed. It was only needed for a few hours on Saturday. Again, there is hardly any waiting in line. Overnight, they do a great job of grooming all the runs. In my opinion, natural snow just takes to grooming better than the snowgun stuff. The access to the backcountry trails is also something that generated much interest with the kids. So, I may be able to get them out there or in nearby White Grass on cross-country skis as well. As far as the lodging, I can't speak to it. We stayed in Oakland MD and drove down every morning. Personally, I wasn't interested in being pampered, I just wanted to ski hard for two full days and not wither away in a lift line. Mission accomplished.

March 6 at 7:42 pm Not so minty fresh... Unfortunately, I would have to rate Wintergreen as my most disappointing ski experience. The lift line management was unbelievably poor resulting in waiting in line for an hour to get the lift just prior to the 4pm closure of the black diamond skiing areas. There was almost a riot!
I will never go there again. Comments on Hidden Valley - posted by GGNagy
February 26 at 8:45 am Skiing was VERY nice at HV on 2/20. First time in ages I have seen EVERYTHING open and skiible. Only problem was things being a bit crusty in Cobra and other unmarked glades. at 1:30pm I stopped in the office, and heard that there was not a single parking space left in whole resort. In spite of that, the only really long lines were on the north summit quad, and Thunderdraft was less than a dozen chair wait. Hopefully with more weekends like that, the outback slopes will be alot closer to a reality.

February 24 at 10:11 am Found HV to be the family resort I remembered (had a pass there years ago).
o Not great terrian but it has been expended. o Definetely NOT as expensive as 7S and the service / value is SOOOoooo much better. o Food value is okay (for a resort) and its not over priced "ball park" fare! o They need to fix up the parking but I can see improvements overall. Good place to go with a family, with developing skill sets, if your on a budget and know how to manage your expections. |
