West Virginia seeing best ski conditions in ‘over a decade'
CHARLESTON, (WBOY) — According to West Virginia Tourism, 2025 has been the best year for winter activities in the state in quite some time.
After a very snowy January, conditions for skiing, snowboarding and tubing remain excellent in West Virginia's mountain counties, even amid warmer temperatures in the lowlands. On top of the feet of snow in January, and the up to 14 inches some areas saw this week, another 10 inches of snowfall is expected over President's Day Weekend, the West Virginia Department of Tourism said in a press release on Wednesday.
'The conditions are incredible right now, setting up for a perfect holiday weekend,' Tom Wagner, President of the West Virginia Ski Areas Association, said in the release. 'I can't remember the last time we've seen such pristine conditions.'
