Hit the Slopes.

Grant County is just a short drive from all the major downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, and snow tubing adventures in the mountain state. With Petersburg as your hub, you can take a short drive for a different type of adventure each day.

For any easy-going adventure, try the best cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the east at White Grass Ski Touring Center, located at Canaan Valley among some of West Virginia’s most treasured high country. Just down the road from White Grass, find the longest sled run on the East Coast at Blackwater Falls State Park. The sled run fosters cherished memories and wintertime joy in the crisp wind and snow with friends and family.

About an hour from Petersburg, the Coca-Cola Tube Park at Snowshoe Mountain Resort‘s Galactic Tubing and party deck are perfect for those wanting to race down the tubing hill or chill out on the slopes.

If high-speed adventure in more of your thing, get your lift tickets, strap on your gear, and then hit the trails at Canaan Valley Resort. A favorite among local snow-chasers for its abundance of trails, 47 to be exact, Canaan Valley is a must-visit for any thrill-lover. A new high-speed chair lift at Timberline Mountain Resort, just minutes from Canaan Valley Resort, ensures guests can spend as little time on the lifts, and as much time enjoying the slopes as possible.

Relax in the evenings in one of our many, scenic mountain cabins or vacation rentals to share stories of your day of winter adventure. Or enjoy an historic hotel in downtown within walking distance of local restaurants.

Winter time is the perfect season to experience Grant County.
