Canaan Valley Resort, located outside Davis, West Virginia features 39 slopes for beginning, intermediate, and advanced West Virginia skiing. With a vertical drop of 850 feet and the longest run at 6,000 feet, the experience is as challenging as you want it to be. Night skiing is also offered for an exhilarating skiing experience. Canaan Valley Resort and Timberline Four Seasons Resort have joined forces for the 2007-2008 ski season to offer guests the ability to ski both mountains at their leisure for one price. The new two-day pass allows skiers to enjoy over 75 slopes and trails, making a truly memorable trip to the mountains. In addition to fun on the slopes, Canaan Valley Resort offers a plethora of outdoor activities to whet an appetite for adventure. Cross-country terrain abounds in the valley, and guests without skis can choose to slide down the tube park, try their hands at airboarding or lace up their skates on the covered ice rink.

Just got back from spending much of the summer down south and was hoping to find that first Fall issue of SKI of SKIING magazine in the mail. Found neither so went to their website to see when first issue will be released.
Learned that SKIING Mag. will no longer be publishing a 'print' issue (except for 10/26/10 Gear Guide issue) --- will be interactive only. If you have a current subscription it will be converted/added to your SKI Mag subscription.
Was bummed until I checked out their video on Skiing Interactive. Looks really cool! Need to sign up to receive info on upcoming availability. Try this link (hope it works):

I posted a question on Wintergreen's Facebook wall about what improvements they had in store for next year. Here is their reply:
"We've got quite a list for this Winter (just like every year). New rental equipment (including more boards and helmets), learning area improvements including a new conveyor lift, and even 40 new energy-efficient guns to get those critical trails open early."
I read on another site that 10 of those guns were going in the Highlands but nothing official.

Evidently Summer has come to a halt in parts of Europe..Snow has been reported since mid August & now the Snow levels are dropping down as low as 3500' but most of the heavier powder type has been high up on the Glaciers where they are still actively skiing.
Arctic ice has rebounded 2 days in a row and even though it is still to early to celebrate, the news does hold some promise of a strong refreeze with some good cold being generated for us Norskies this coming Winter!
There has been some Early Snow reported by yours truly up in Russia also but all we ever hear about are the Heat waves in the Main Stream press..

Keystone - November 5
Breckenridge - November 12
Vail - November 19
Heavenly - November 19
Beaver Creek - November 24
Of course Loveland and A-Basin should open by mid-October.
A-Basin should be fun with the new high speed quad (Black Mountain Express) replacing the old Exhibition lift.
