I thought I knew every ski area in this part of the country, but I had not heard of this one.
Hi Denis if you decide to go check it out leave yer bogens at home and be sure to wear your Bogner

.Nemacolin Resort is in western PA near Ohiopyle. I've never been there, but reportedly it has one long easy slope that provides skiing as an amenity to the luxury resort experience.

I went there once, like a ACEer heading to kiddieland to up his coaster count.
The majority of all the runs are on and almost flat plateau, with a drop to the bottom of the lift near the end. The beginner meanders down the edge of the plateau on the right side, the intermediate traverses the drop on skiers left, and the expert goes straight down the drop. the "expert" is no more severe than the last bit of Hidden Valley's Imperial slope. Below is a shot from the top of the lift unloading hill. You can see how flat everything is for the majority of each run.
The only lift makes the Timberline chairs seem speedy, and the unloading ramp would qualify as an intermediate in comparison to the rest of the slopes there. Until the old lodge burned down, the Apres Ski far outweighed the skiing itself.
The only reason I would see going back, would be to introduce a never-ever to skiing. It would let them feel like they were skiing the whole mountain, as they would probably be able to before the day was out. Otherwise, only worth it to get the ticket to staple to your wall.
