Mountaineers ride free. Show a West Virginia ID at the Depot and the lift ticket is on the house, twice a season. If any of your crew are WV residents, plan the trip around one of these Sundays.

Dates

One Sunday in early December and one in March

The resort has not announced the next dates. We post them in the Journal the day they land, and the email list hears first.

What to book ahead
