Canaan Valley Ski Resort

Canaan Valley Ski Resort is an operating ski area in West Virginia with 846 feet of vertical drop and a base elevation of 4,277 feet. The resort offers alpine skiing and snowboarding in a mountain setting within the state's higher terrain.

As with most Appalachian ski areas, expect a relatively modest vertical and season length tied to natural snowfall and cold temperatures. Winter conditions in West Virginia are variable, and visiting during peak season—typically January through February—offers the best snow reliability. Access depends on regional road conditions, which can be affected by winter weather. Plan ahead and check current snow and operating status before driving.
