We skiied at Timberline over winter break. This was our third trip to the resort and by far the coldest! The first day, temperature at the base was 19 degrees fahrenheit, and the wind at the top of the mountain was unbelievable! We skiied all morning and took a late lunch, after which I decided it was just too cold to go back out. The boys thought so too, so we stayed in our cabin while Stuart ventured out for a few more runs. Our cabin was almost slopeside; we just had to hike through the snow behind the house across the street...usually easy but not so easy while carrying two pairs of skis!
The temps were the same on day 2, but we toughed it out until the early afternoon by warming up with chili and hot chocolate in the lodge at lunch.
On day 3 we took the boys to the neighboring resort, Canaan Valley, where they had fun tubing. Then we drove to Blackwater Falls and enjoyed a gorgeous (but freezing) walk through the snow to see the frozen falls!
Looks very cold, but oh so pretty! The frozen falls are amazing - a real Winter Wonderland as you say. The cabin looks nice and cosy.
