1 · Where to stay

A group this size takes two homes

Our biggest homes sleep 12. For 27, book two or more side by side: Timbers 3 and Timbers 5 sit across the street from each other (12 and 12), and the three Summit condos share one area (103C, 107D, and 202D). How group stays work.

2 · Lift tickets, lessons, and rentals

Sort these before you drive up

  • Lift tickets

    Sold by the resort, priced by date. Buying online ahead is usually cheaper than the window. We never sell or price them.

    Resort lift tickets ↗

  • Lessons

    Group, private, and kids' programs, all booked with the resort. Holiday weeks sell out.

    Lessons guide

  • Rentals

    Fit boots the afternoon you arrive, not the morning you ski. Our concierge page routes a rental request to the right shop.

    Tickets and gear

Typical weather for your dates

Over the last 10 years, these dates averaged about 2.3" of snow on the ground, not much new snow, highs near 34° and lows around 17° at the summit. Some years brought no new snow at all, others up to 2.4".

4 · Dinners, chefs, and groceries

Eat well without the scramble

The day-by-day plan below puts a few dinners out at kitchens we know are open for your dates. Book tables ahead on weekends and holidays.

Where to eatPrivate chef night

A chef who will drive up the mountain usually needs two to four weeks of notice.

The grocery stop on your route

  1. 1

    Kroger or Walmart Supercenter, Elkins

    Your last full grocery store. About 1 hour 15 minutes before the mountain. Do the big shop here.

  2. 2

    Dollar General, Slaty Fork

    The most real store near the base for pantry staples, paper goods, and snacks.

  3. 3

    Par Mar, Slaty Fork

    Fill the tank here. There is no gas on the mountain. Ice, firewood, beer, and forgotten basics, open late.

  4. 4

    Wildcat Grocery, the Village

    A short drive or shuttle ride from your home. Basics and top-ups at resort prices.
