Telemark & Nordic Skiing at White Grass West Virginia

White Grass. The mecca for whole earth backcountry, touring and telemark skiing in the East. Located in Canaan Valley West Virginia and adjacent to Dolly Sods Wilderness Area and two downhill ski areas. Video footage by Colleen Laffey from her White Grass movie, remix and stills from Chipper's archive and my own stock.

@Jimrogalski Click on anything else up here that says "White Grass" and "Skiing" and you will think it is TOTALLY absolutely worth it...maybe the only thing that truly is.

I miss White Grass, even when living in Colorado, ...what a cool place to ski. Ski up to the top and explore the National Forest in Dolly Sods.. it is awesome. The Purple Fiddle is where to get a drink and listen to some good ole bluegrass.

I used to ski there and Timberline when I lived in the area back in 1995-96 with my twin brother, John. Fantastic places, both White Grass and Timberline. Wonderful people, and Sirriani's pizza nearby is awesome (if it is still around, that is).

This is pretty inspiring

Great video. I've been wondering if the 7 hour drive from Chapel Hill would be worth it. After seeing this I'd say absolutely yes.

If you like XC, Whitegrass is home.
