WV Division of Tourism Highlights Activities and Travel Destinations for the 2008 Winter Season

South Charleston, WV . -- West Virginia is well known for its winter activities and travel destinations, and this season offers special events and new attractions.

Winter outdoor fun (http://www.callwvanews.com/storyideas/winter2007/w007outdoor.htm)

Five resorts -- Canaan Valley, Oglebay, Snowshoe Mountain, Timberline Four Seasons and Winterplace -- provide unmatched fun for beginner and expert downhill skiers and snowboarders. For those wanting to enjoy the scenery at a slower pace, cross-country skiing provides a more cardiovascular-intensive experience at White Grass or Elk River Touring Center.

"With a combination of the state's long ski season, abundance of natural snowfall and proximity to major metropolitan areas in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, West Virginia is an ideal spot for winter adventure," says West Virginia Division Tourism Commissioner Betty Carver.

New ski trails and expansions for this year include three new expert skiers trails at Snowshoe Mountain; the addition of 53 rooms to the Wilson Lodge at Oglebay; the new Ski the Valley Pass offered by Timberline Four Seasons and Canaan Valley resorts, which gives guests the ability to ski both mountains at their leisure for one price; and the expansion of Winterplace's ski and snowboarding learning area and two carpet lifts ease embarking and disembarking for new skiers.
