Stay up to date by getting notified of new posts!

One thing is certain, winter is officially here. As we have been reporting all week, cold temperatures have settled on much of the southeast, making it just right for snowmaking ops. Ski areas are certainly getting geared up for the season and if they aren’t open already, they will be over the next week or so!

Brad Panovich says that we are in for a “snow storm.” Snowshoe Mountain and the surrounding areas may receive as much as 10-20 inches of the white stuff, while areas around the High Country are looking at 5 inches or more. Brad also says that cold temperatures are here to stay for the next couple of weeks. We are looking at some prime time skiing conditions, folks!!

Here’s a look at the weekend forecast…

West Virginia Ski Areas…SNOW, SNOW, and more SNOW!
Tonight: 30% chance of snow, Lo 13
