More than 100 inches of snow a year, on average. Close to Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. Hundreds of acres of cross-country skiing trails through the Appalachian wilderness. A groomed golf course that, when covered with snow, is perfect for sledding. All this and more can be found at Alpine Lake Resort, a hidden winter gem tucked away in beautiful Terra Alta, West Virginia.

Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, this resort is under new management and no longer offers winter activities. But stay tuned for an exciting spring season!

Trails are available for skiing as long as there is at least 2 inches of packed snow on the trails. With a minimum of four inches of snow, get ready for some epic sledding!

After a day of fun in the snow, enjoy a delicious meal or a hot drink in the casual bar atmosphere of the Lakers Lounge Restaurant or alongside beautiful lake views from the windows of the Evergreene Dining Room. There’s also the option for a fancier meal at the Mountain Laurel Dining Room.
