Elk Mountain (Ski Resort)
“ I call Elk 'Little Alta'. Let's be clear, the terrain and snow are nothing like Alta, but there is a charm that is very reminencient of my favorite place on earth. It really does have the best terrain in PA. The mountain layout is excellent. There are not too many people bottlenecks, and the vertical is higher than other resorts in the area. Another thing I like about Elk's terrain is the...” --kermit88
Blue Knob
“ Blue Knob is probably the best mid-Atlantic ski area when the conditions are right. It has some of the most challenging terrain in the area, 1000ft vertical, usually doesn't get too crowded and is cheaper most of the other mid-Atlantic ski areas as well. There are a good number of long trails for experts and intermediates. So why isn't Blue Knob five stars? Well...” --MephitBlue
Snowshoe
“ When Snowshoe decided to offer a $200 unlimited pass deal for next season, with the addition of being able to use it for the rest of this season, I knew I'd be making a trip to Snowshoe. I've avoided Snowshoe in the past due to the length of time it takes to drive there, the cost of lodging and food, and the crowds that I've heard reported about by other skiers. However, once the skiing...” --MephitBlue
Liberty Mountain
“ Ski Liberty is a fun little ski area that has a great location. It is one of the closest ski areas to the DC metro area, being a little over an hour away. Making it a place where a lot of people learn to ski and the local hill to many DC metro area residents. For a small hill, Ski Liberty has a lot to offer. First, they are a great place to learn to ski with a...” --MephitBlue
Whitetail
“There's a reason I did not ski locally for the first four years I lived in the Washington DC area. I grew up skiing small New England resorts and had outgrown small hills with thin snow cover, slow lifts and big crowds. There's a reason I now work at Whitetail. I've fallen in love with the place. Whitetail is located 90 minutes from both the DC and Baltimore beltways. Holiday crowds can get...” --TheRusty
Snö Mountain Ski Resort
“ My college age son and I spent a day at Sno Mountain the second Friday in February. It was one of the best days of skiing (me) and boarding (him) we have ever had. First, the resort was empty. We got there at opening and there were only a handful of cars in the lot. It wasn't until around 2 in the afternoon that we actually had to share a slope with another skier....” --ptgray14
Seven Springs Mountain Resort
“ This was our resort of choice in high school/college, we did have fun (usually due to a few to many!) I wish I had known about the steeper hill around the corner (BK). Returning (now 34) the crowds really are too much. I can't emphasize that enough, too many people on the slopes to ski safely. They have upgraded the lifts from when I was in college, so though...” --ChimneyRidgeTC
Jack Frost Mountain
“ Overall, Jack Frost Mtn skis like a mini Elk Mountain. It has a skier's mountain vibe, which I totally dig. The expert terrain on the west side of the hill is pretty good. Lots of huge bumps and some steep pitches. Also, they make some great snow there. I just wish it was alitte bigger and that they had nite skiing. ” --guitar73
Timberline Four Seasons Resort
“ Timberline has been my home mountain for 5+ years now. For hard-core skiers, it is a gem in the Mid Atlantic. I grew up in the Northeast, skiing Vermont and Western Massachusetts; Timberline has a lot of the same skier culture. It doesn't have the same stats as Vermont, but it is still pretty respectable: 1000 feet of vertical, annual snowfall of 150-200 inches a year (greater in some years),...” --JohnL
Massanutten Ski Resort
“ I just returned from taking my somewhat timid but energetic 10 year old to Massanutten. We arrived mid day and had plenty of fun before we even clicked in to our skis. I've never been at a MidAtlantic resort with so many things to do other than skiing. We went sledding at the golf course then had to choose between hitting the large arcade, HUGE indoor water park, or heading...” --crgildart
