Although it rained the first day our trip here the hotel (which was discounted $30 per night due to whitetail) is near great outlets and dining even a 24 hr market. We were pleasantly surprised when we woke up Saturday morning gyve weather was great and our ski instructor had already called to confirmed our lesson. My husband is a... More

Went to Whitetail for Snow Tubing: Hopefully some of these details will help future visitors. Arrive at ~10am (they open at 9am). Lines to ride the escalator up the mountain were unbelievably long until about 11am and then seemed to magically shrink (though at the top of the mountain lines were still long the whole two hours we were there)....

Whitetail is the best resort in the locality. It has excellent snowmaking & is large. The have real black diamond runs. Good facilities, affordable price but no Alcohol. I am okay with that. It is very close to Hagerstown MD. I buy season passes & ski midweek as it is very uncrowded. Terrain for every level, good modern lifts &... More

Colorado, Utah, New England skiing this is not. All of that aside, if you are looking for skiing in the mid-Atlantic region, Whitetail is a good facility with a lot of run levels and options, lessons available, two nice lodges to hang in, and good lodge food available (the best of many we have been to). They have night skiing... More

Lots of good amenties below, including a well designed ticket and welcome center, and a good-sized lodge, with an upstairs and downstairs. There are gas firepits outside, and an outdoor grill. Well maintained and very clean, with conspicuous security and guest assistance folks all over. Very well-run rental activity, with great tracking of missing equipment. Lifts run well, but the...

Whitetail is a great place to get the entire family started on a life-long love of the sport of skiing or snowboarding. The staff and instructors are great - and very friendly. They will stay with you until you have mastered enough skill to really enjoy the experience. It is an easy drive from Northern VA and the DC area,... More

Took my family to Whitetail Ski Resort for snow tubing. The cost of two hours of snow tubing was $21 per person. There was plenty of parking space, I parked very close to the entrance. There was a covered lift, standing only which took us to the top of the hill, approx. 200 yards, took less than a minute. There... More

Although the warm weather this year has affected the skiing in the east, this resort did their best to crank up the snow-making last weekend. By the end of the day, most runs were open and the conditions improved. The rental equipment was good quality, the common areas and dining facilities were comfortable and clean (staff was seen cleaning throughout... More

Snowboarding has been my favorite past-time for the last 5 or 6 years since I learned how in Tahoe. This is my first year on the east coast since learning to snowboard and I have been nervous about it. My first experience at another resort was good, but there was no coverage on any blue runs. Today, about half the... More

Reading these reviews, interesting to see how folks can have such widely divergent experiences. I have a 5 year old on the autism spectrum and a 17 month old. I've put my 5 year old in Whitetail's day-long "kids mountain camp" on my last three visits and I have nothing but good things to say about the care and instruction... More
