Same in the Laurel Highlands, unfortunately, I guess in both cases it'll depend on management's aggressiveness with snowmaking.

Discovered that the first weekend of Jan, Feb, and Mar will be College Weekends. Listed under Events on the Timberline website.
"Present your current, valid college ID at the ticket window to receive special college pricing: Daily lift tickets for $60.00 for a single day, $55.00 each for two days, or $50 for all three days; ski or snowboard rentals for $29 for a single day or $24 each for 2-3 days."
Not really about Timberline, but it turns out that Perfect North in southeast Indiana will have a new blue trail and more lights for the 2022-23 season. The new trail is on one side of the lower mountain and can be access from two lifts. There is a video with drone footage on their website.
Just peeked at the Timberline webcams, and they are blowing snow!
probably not this weekend as temps moderate late week...look for turkey on the hill though
Game on. Get those skis/boards waxed. Opening this Wednesday for preview day. Some warmer temps expected but they’ve been making snow all day. 
Serious firepower. All night skiing terrain being covered! Plus Twister, kudos to them.
The T-line website is claiming almost 70% open for turkey weekend! Trying to decide between snowshoe and timberline.... tough choice.
I did not see anything on their website, but they did post something to their FB page on Saturday saying "60% to 70% of terrain available, including...Salamander, Twister, White Lightning, and Dew Drop".
60%-70% of their 20 runs with snowmaking means 12-14 runs, which of course includes the shorter runs down from mid station, probably a couple of the short green "runs" on top, etc. But even having the 4 top to bottom runs listed above is impressive for the end of November.

Where on their website? Didn't see it.
And Timberline takes the cake for most trails open out of everyone for opening day! More than Snowshoe!
Really great for WV skiing to have 2 good options for Thanksgiving weekend. Looks like a good selection of runs for Snowshoe, including the blues Spruce, Gandy, and lower Ballhooter. I think usually for Thanksgiving they have Gandy or Spruce and a few greens.
RE: the number of TL runs, I would guess someone just miscounted and needed to do a quick manual update to the website.

Conditions pretty much as expected. Little bumpy and rough with some death cookies but good coverage. For time of year and first day it’s very good.One other thing I was not aware of - they are now cashless.
In addition to being cashless, can have credits on the RFID card used for lift access. Last season they let me use credits from the previous season. The first time I got a credit was when I and my ski buddy did a day trip from Massanutten. We got a credit for stopping before 12:30. The credit could be used for food or in the shop. Was good for ice cream before we hit the road.

No ice yet :-), good amount of people but never had a line longer that a minute. 4 top to bottom runs. No lines in the ticket office as I passed through. Lots of staff at the lift to manage things. Ripped through 19 runs in 3 hours and my thighs said no to run 20, my earliest opening day yet, previous was a Black Friday several years ago.
Well executed by Timberline, maybe even say it was a "perfect" day.

That works for me. The 1960s was the first decade I can remember staying in motels in the northeast on driving trips with my parents and older brother. Thanks.
I've stayed at the Billy Motel a few times and liked it. Rooms are a bit small but very well kept. There is a fun lobby area where you can get drinks and light food - last year they were renovating this area, so you might want to check the status of that.
If you end up staying at Alpine Lodge I would be curious to get your impressions. I have never stayed there but I would also be fine with a place that is dated but clean.
Another possibility you can look into (at a higher price point) is the Inn at Canaan.

Good to know. I haven't spent any time in town so being in Davis is a plus for this trip. The Alpine website mentions recent renovations, but I don't know if that means in 2022 or work done a few years ago.
clear calm and 20 on the front porch in town...it's showtime baby...yew!
Any thoughts on conditions Sunday? It looks like a good bit of rain tomorrow then a refreeze. I can't wait to hit the slopes but that sounds like conditions could be crummy.
Today was the day to be on the slope, dang work.

Awesome day Friday at Timberline - skiing the Bronze pass this year. Snow held up well- variety of conditions, but all nice snow as partly cloudy skies gave way to a bluebird day that saw temps climb to the 50's. This is looking down White Lightning. Lapped all day until 3 when we had had enough. Did I miss any DC skiers out there...?
... Timberline continues to impress, with fantastic coverage, excellent grooming, friendly, upbeat staff. Keep it up Team Perfect!
right side mowing grass...yew!
Nice to hear from you Jim and continue to enjoy reading your posts and TR's. I look forward to bumping into you this season. Let's make it a powder day!
JimK wrote:
Swoop flew the coop. Nice!
Sunday was another awesome day at Timberline. They made enough snow overnight to make the slopes powdery and most of the powder lasted all day. Twister and White Lightning were both wonderful. Seems like they are making more snow on skiers right of White Lightning than the last two years, and that is where the best skiing was today. 
Agree on Sunday conditions, really couldn't ask for better man made early season snow. We skied until our legs gave out, no lines, no crowds.
Having Twister open this early also takes a good bit of pressure off Dew Drop.
It would be great if they let the left side of WL bump up after covering the whole slope, but I hope that means they will keep either the Drop or Off the Wall groomed for most of the season.
In general I am more in favor of keeping OTW as an advanced bump run. The problem, of course, is that the inevitable thaw/refreeze cycle can lead to some pretty tough conditions.

I mowed that grass Friday. I thought it was soft on that slide, it was frozen, lost the board, and slid to the trees.
And this is why I wear padded pants while snowboarding

Wonderful soft, hero snow conditions at Timberline today. Never got sticky or too slow. All the slopes skied nicely the entire day and had plenty of coverage.

No snow making last night. Going to Timberline tomorrow! Hoping they have a little refreshing snow making time tonight.
Of course, Canaan is blowing a ton of snow on the lower mountain.. strange business strategy!
Amen, they run a top notch operation that makes top notch quality powder snow. Those folks run an operation in Indiana that has 5X the amount of skiers coming through the doors as they do here, so they know exactly how to run a good business. Sometimes conditions like hummidity level, dew points or inversions can play a big part in making good quality snow, so they know exactly when to flip the switch that is capable of covering a majority of the mountain with sweet fluff almost overnight :) Couldnt have possibly been a better company to take over that mountain. We are blessed to have them here!

Don’t worry they do a fantastic grooming job. They will have great snowmaking weather starting Friday, I plan to ski there this Sunday.
Looks like 14 inch storm coming to tline Thursday. 6 over nighy and another 8 day time Thursday. If forecast holds true that’d be an awesome power day!
When do they groom trails typically? If they groom right after closure Thursday morning should have plenty pow on the ground
What is the difference between Timberline and Canaan Valley? Looking for some places to lodge at either one and some of these spots on vrbo are unclear if its timberline or canaan valley. Also, how is the drive up to Timberline? Is it like snowshoe where theres a 10 mile uphill climb (dont mind the climb up to snowshoe but i have a smaller car)?
Thanks!
other differences
tline high speed 6 pack with padded seats and fixed grip quad to midstation...cvr fixed grip quad with midstation unload then to top and triple to top with plastic seats
tline 1000' vert...most runs are top to bottom with consistent pitch except the blacks that are steep then run out to the flats...cvr 850` vert with lots of flats spots
both have a looong green beginner from the top
both areas get the same amount of snow but the meadows at cvr are the sheeite after a dump
i'm not a xc skier but whitegrass is one of the top 5 xc ski areas in the usa and an excellent place to ski snowshoe eat and visit

If you're asking about the difference with regard to location, both are located in Canaan Valley. If the VRBO is saying they are located in Timberline, that's the gated subdivision that is on the same mountain as Timberline. If they are saying Canaan Valley, then it could be anywhere in the valley, i.e. anywhere along 32 south of Davis and north of CVR. But Timberline subdivision is also considered Canaan Valley.
If you are staying somewhere in Canaan Valley, once you are on 32 there shouldn't be any issues getting to the Timberline Mountain. Not like at Snowshoe. But there are some rental properties that are hard to access in winter without AWD or chains, so if you're concerned you should vet the properties location.
Curious, I noticed they removed Lower White Lightning from this year's map. Anyone have the scoop on it?
Glad to see the night skiing back in the Valley it will be an added bonus for things to do at night on the weekends.
Actually I'm surprised they didn't move the Park to Lower White Lightning and add snowmaking its wide and has the length to build some good features. Of course, under the Quad would be a great trail. I was wondering why Winterset wasn't added for night skiing?
MitchSH wrote:
Looks like lower White is now part of a glades area on the map. I assume that means no snowmaking? I also noticed that lower Almost Heaven has returned, last year it was a terrain park.
So, I'm thinking lower White is an over site on the map. I thought I saw some portable guns sitting on it when I was there a week ago. The terrain park crowd isn't going to be happy if they took the big park away. Lower Almost Heaven is wide enough to add park features, but also allow for groomed terrain to one side or the other.
Plus, I think the ski team likes to use lower White lightning for training.
Looks like the winds will moderate by Saturday or Sunday so a complete closure for the entire weekend seems like overkill. They could at least keep the mid mountain lift open and provide limited skiing for the crowds that will be in The Valley for the weekend. I have no plans to ski this weekend but I would very disappointed if I was there and couldn’t ski at least on Sunday. I have skied in 5 degree and windy weather many times out west and up north. On the other hand folks may not have the clothes for that type of skiing in West Virginia so maybe this is best to prevent a mass frostbite epidemic.
They had always planned to be closed on Christmas day. Not being open Friday might be a good decision based on the weather however, they could probably reopen on Saturday although it will be really cold. The new management seems to make good decisions so no one should be too upset.

Well currently their website says they are closed Saturday and Sunday due to extreme weather. I don’t consider a high of ten degrees (Sunday’s weather, and no extreme winds that day) extreme weather for skiing. Interestingly Snowshoe has announced it is open for the whole weekend because it is not going to close for winter weather. Seven Springs hasn’t announced any closures as well. In any case let’s hope for some real snow this weekend to get the season going. Unfortunately currently looks like warmer and rainy weather moving into the New Year.
For people with the correct clothing, single digits is fine. That's not as likely to be true of many people who mainly ski in the southeast and mid-Atlantic. The road conditions in WV is another consideration given that there could be people who were thinking of doing their first ski trip this weekend. Meaning first winter driving experience on WV roads in nasty conditions. Note that those people are unlikely to be reading an online ski forum.
As was posted earlier, the email update today included: "The forecast shows extreme low temperatures and high winds that may create dangerous conditions. The potential for power outages, bad roads, and exposure risk will be high. For the safety of our guests and staff, and with consideration of our local emergency services, the mountain will not be open for skiing and snowboarding this Friday, Saturday and Sunday."
Wind chill temps will be very cold in the next few days in the Canaan Valley.
The Fearless Forecast (posted Wednesday morning, link on the Whitegrass site) has a huge range of possible snow totals - 2 to 16 inches over the 3 day period. Lots of uncertainty in how things will play out, with potentially huge gradients in snowfall amounts between locations that are only a few miles apart.
If we get closer to the upper end of that range I will try to get out on re-opening day (Dec 26) - otherwise I will probably wait until later in the week.
Heck yeah snapper! Get you sum boi! perfect timed picture right at winter solstice 12/21 4:47pm!

I skied there today. Took my father there with me for his 1st time there. We are 7 Springs based, so getting him to go anywhere else was a win.
The place was great. 100% of terrain was open with great coverage. Really impressed with how big the mountain skis for really only having 1 lift. The whole place was packed, but they did a great job. Parked in the overflow lot, and rode to the lodge in a wagon that was being towed by a farm tractor. We forgot our boots, so we rented skis and boots there, which was an easy and fast process. Staff were everywhere at the lifts to assist and keep people moving. The lodge had good food and cold beer. And to top it off, the sun was shining.
10/10 day at Timberline, I will be back again!
Heading to Timberline early next week. Discovered the Tline base cam can be pointed in multiple directions this season. The view can change based on "votes." Could see three groomers headed back to the barn just before 9:00am. Looks like there was snowmaking last night. :-)

Yeah, they did not run the snowguns at all. I can only assume that the humidity was not favorable. Hopefully we will see some snowmaking tonite.
Okay. I'm not skiing Timberline until Monday. Driving over from Massanutten first thing in the morning. For sure there will be more snow at Timberline than Massanutten by then. Looks like daytime high in the Canaan Valley may not get to freezing.

Do not advertise the place, it's our secret. You missed the doubles with the whales and moguls they had just groomed them down. Need to go back when they are back. Thats a challenge, heres a pic before they groomed

Had a very good time at Timberline this afternoon. Skied almost all the trails just to see what the snow was like. The Drop when it's all flat is . . . fast! White Lightning had the best snow.
My friend who came with me is a cautious intermediate. She loved Salamander.
We're staying at the Alpine Lodge in Davis. Rooms are fine. Good thing there is a microwave available in the laundry room. There isn't any place open for dinner on Mondays right now. We bought food at the supermarket. As did a work crew that's staying at Alpine Lodge tonight too.

The steeps were a bit icier on Monday afternoon. Think I'd rather ski them with snow whales and bumps, instead of when they are like a race course. I was glad I had sharp edges.

Looked dark when we drove by on the way to Davis. No one answered the phone. We didn't really feel like driving back that way in the dark in any case.
Had a great meal at Mama Mia's a year ago.
Snow surface was much nicer all over this morning. Snowmaking was on 6pm to 8am apparently.
White Lightning Monday afternoon, Jan. 9, 2023
Timberline was amazing today. This was my first time here under the relatively new management and they’ve done an amazing job. Among others things, the snow was great esp given that they’ve only had 16” of natural. And I took a lesson — thanks Mike — that was top notch.
I think the nicest thing was the really great spirits of the employees — everyone I saw seemed to be glad to be on the mountain and the ski patrol had a.nice presence. Finally, on the Sunday of MLK weekend the lines were manageable and I didn’t see any people skiing out of control on the mountain.
I will be back!
Timberline was great today. Great snow and little to no lines!
Now if Mr. Perfect could just take on the Cannan Valley SP conesssion, we could bring back "Ski the Valley"!!!

ski patrol closed the drop saturday because it was too icy I believe. It was open Sunday tho as well as Heaven. upper Heaven was just opened Sunday for first time I think and was great whales! Monday it was closed because a groomer lost a track and took a while to get it fixed and off the mtn. Kudos to Tline for reviving downhill skiing in the valley! couldn't have asked for a better outcome in ownership and management of it!

I took a run down The Drop on Monday, Jan. 9, before the MLK weekend. Groomed completely flat. I was doing controlled side slips speeding down the steeper top section given how icy it was all the way across. Wasn't a run I cared to repeat. Upper Almost Heaven was the only trail closed then. Given how few people were around, didn't really need it.
According to the ski patrol person I spoke with on Saturday, they tried to open The Drop on Saturday but felt it was too icy to open safely. It was open on Sunday after a day of additional snowmaking.

starting with few inches of snow and sleet mixed in this morning, will change over to rain around 11 or so, then back to snow for the upslope wrap-around (reach around haha) tonight through tomorrow adding a few more inches. -released from canaan weather headquarters on the valley floor :)

I wasn't able to do the singles line unfortunately. Beautiful day on Saturday. Snow was OK, a little icier in spots than I was expecting, but overall decent snow. Enough cover in some of the glades to pop in and out.

Agreed many times over. It was a huge disappointment that they got rid of the whales on those slopes.
with a couple of inches of natural mixed in this morning and still making snow this morning for over 2 days now! (maybe a small break yesterday afternoon) tline in it to win it!

I skied timberline on Thursday and it was absolutely EPIC. Groomed with lots of made man snow that piled up as the day went on. It was tree to tree coverage with lots of opportunities to play around at the edges of every trail. White lighting was the run of the day, the right hand side was an absolute blast! We skied onto the lift each time and never waited a second in line. The best conditions of the season and I am sure that this weekend was even better.
At Bryce this weekend and their snow is amazing considering their location. This is my newly turned 6 year old tenth day on the slopes (tenth lesson on the year) and he has been crushing the blues here. He told me at dinner, he is ready for timberline next year!
Enjoy the slopes!

It's the building on the left as you drive thru davis on the way to TL, just before the grocery store. FOE = "Fraternal Order of Eagles" (which I never knew but I just looked it up).
Season passes for 2023-24 are on sale for Timberline. Lowest prices are good until April 1. For people who live in DC/NoVA and can ski midweek, the Bronze, Silver passes seem like very good deals. Even better for a senior 60+. Silver is $199 for 60+ and $299 for ages 13-59 and good every Mon-Fri. Bronze is a bit less and good for one day during Mon-Fri each week.
A pass for next season is not valid for 2022-23 late season skiing.
foe serves the public wed-sat 5-9...see their fb page for the daily specials...highly recommended...what do you need translated to the king's english?
Timberline will be taking a break midweek and re-opening on Friday, March 3.
Anybody have insight into Timberline's intentions for snowmaking for the rest of the season? We will be up there the 9th-12th. They will certainly have the ability to make some snow next week but idk if they have called it quits for the year.
It does look like March could be a cold month with less drenching rain and more opportunities for snow
yeah Red! Always go for the gold! Looks like Tline is also putting this Friday on hold because of the rain in forecast also. Then the scales start to change for winter. March comes in like a lamb and out like a lion!
snapdragon wrote:
nether reason to go with the gold pass vice them otherns
I seriously hope they take advantage. It shouldn't take much effort (1-2 days of snowmaking) for them to resurface the place make it another few weeks. Especially given it is supposed to snow daily starting next Thursday.

Governor’s cup is definitely next weekend. I called T-Line yesterday trying to get a gauge on whether they’re going to be making snow if/when it gets cold this week as I’m trying to decide where to go next weekend (per other post I made). The customer service person said they will be trying to make snow this week if/when possible, especially because they’re hosting the governor’s cup on 11-12 March. They said they’re fully committed to being open for the governor’s cup. I asked about Friday or other weekdays this week and they couldn’t commit.
Timberline announced on Instagram that it will be open 9-12 March and maybe beyond. Snowmaking will resume on existing terrain plus Thunderstruck. The Governor’s Cup race will be held on Lower Dew Drop.

..the sunrise scramble for the tele crowd is also tomorrow at cvr
Tele crowd? Are you a snowboarder or something? :P some people had fat skis and there was a skins division, but most on XC skis! It was a lung buster climb to the top for sure, but a sweet cruiser on fresh courderoy coming down on skinny skis! Cory Chase did in 17 minutes! beat this old fart by 13 minutes!
Mid-atlantic resorts don't make snow in March unless they are nuts people say.... well Chip Perfect said, "it's 18 degrees and low hummidity.... TURN EM UP TO 11 BOYZ!!" :)
Governors cup is on Saturday, but other than that, nobody but diehards or locals ski in march in the mid-atl, and fairweather skier DC folks are looking at flowers and tree blossoms and not thinking about winter or skiing anymore, so probably be ok.

Gonna be there Saturday...normally I do Sundays to avoid the Saturday crowds but with the time change that would be a little rough on me for a day trip. Hopefully there will be a good-sized crowd without it being too busy.
All groomed as of Saturday (which is a very good thing given the freeze/thaw)
I'll post this here and level it :)
I disagree as I would rather ski icy bumps than boring groomed snow.
