Regardless of ability level, everyone can improve their skiing or snowboarding by taking a lesson. The SCWDC Ski School aims to make this easy and fun by sponsoring numerous “Skiing Enhancement Trips” this winter at area resorts. One-day trips are scheduled for Ski Roundtop and Whitetail, while weekend trips are scheduled for Canaan Valley, Elk Mountain, and Snowshoe. Trips include instruction, lift tickets, and transportation to the slopes by carpool or bus.
