Wanna get away? Well now you can! With TRiP's unbeatable deal on an 6 day ski vacation to West Virginia, you can have the experience of a lifetime with all your best of friends. Come along for a week of fun skiing at two different alpine resorts and one day of cross country, and be back in Gainesville just in time for the spring semester!

And because their 37 slopes and trails are evenly divided among easiest, intermediate and expert terrain, skiers of all abilities will find plenty of great ways to get to the bottom! This is true of Timberline and Canaan Valley alike!
