And for those who don't like to go outdoors, we've got something for you too - the Wisp Resort Hotel's indoor pool and hot tub, fitness center, Sewickley Spa, arcade and let's not forget the essentials for any great winter vacation - food and drink.

Snowshoe
59 miles away
Snowshoe has the biggest elevation drop of any skiresort in the region which in my oppinion makes it a realtively great ski resort. You can get more skiing done before you have to get on the lift again. Which I think is very important in a ski resort....

Timberline
60 miles away
4 PHOTOS
Ski 1,000 feet vertical at ''Real Snow Country'' from December until April including the two mile Salamander Run. Timberline is known for its gladed trails and their double black diamond trails, Off the Wall and The Drop. Come test your skills in the hills of West Virginia. Stay slopeside at the new Timberline Resort Hotel. There is live music every weekend at Timber's Pub and Fireside Grill located in the main lodge. March 20-21 is our annual Snowy Luau. It's the biggest party of the year, with a torch light parade and Polynesian dancers. Check out our website www.timberlineresort.com or call 1.800.SNOWING for more information....
