December 30, 2020
I skied with my 6- and 8-year olds on Sunday, December 27, 2020 at West Virginia’s Timberline Mountain Resort. We have Ikon passes and in past years, our skiing is usually a mix of weekends at Snowshoe, a couple of day trips to Whitetail, and then usually two trips per year out west.
I had skied at Timberline Mountain years ago, and wanted to give them some business to support the new ownership. Additionally, we were looking for someplace that wouldn’t be as crowded (we don’t normally ski during Christmas break).
As tends to happen with little kids, we got a later than ideal start, leaving Northern Virginia at 7 a.m. and arriving at 10 sharp. There was lots of snow on the drive, and the roads from Davis to Timberline Mountain were snow packed. The trees were covered in snow, and the whole thing felt very alpine. The day was bluebird, with temps in the low-to-mid 30s.
