Seven Springs

Pros: Great all year round, groomed, begginers welcome
Cons: Occasional bad weather

I have been going to Seven Springs resort since I was five. I Enjoy going there every year as part of our family reunion. We have been going to ski resorts in that area for a long time and we like Seven Springs the best because it doesn't just have great...

Pros: affordable, various activities inside the resort
Cons: trying to find enough vacation time to spend there

For the past three years, I have attended the Prince George's County Police Convention at Seven Springs. The group rates have always been affordable, and the lodging is great. It is very refreshing to be able to wake up in the morning and to already be...

Pros: Nice mountain for mid Atlantic; high speed 6pack quickly moves people away from base
Cons: No village; No place to eat or shop except the resort; Mediocre condo

It seems that many of our friends had great things to say about 7 Springs, especially for a family trip. With limited time available, we decided to give it a try over the days just before and thru Xmas.

We had no expectations of a major...

Pros: snowmaking, lots of lifts, good balance of difficulty on trails
Cons: parking within walking distance is at a premium, and don't get lost on the way there!

My boyfriend and I were tired of the ski resorts in our state, and Seven Springs was only an hour from my college town of Morgantown, West Virginia, so we decided to take a Saturday trip in January of last year. It was a great day for skiing, and we...

Pros: short lines on north slope good rentals
Cons: green/blue slopes crowded short runs

This was my first time at a mid-atlantic ski resort (skied mostly in NE) and was pleasantly surprised. Got there monday on a longweekend, but the rental lines were acceptable. found the snowboard rentals good (on par with any of the top resorts in the...

Pros: all around mountain resort, something to do for the whole family
Cons: parking.

Champion Pennsylvania, Skiing Mag. rated this resort Top 5 on the East coast. The all around mountain resort is only 55 miles east of pittsburgh and has one of the best snowmaking systems in the east. the normal skiing season lasts anywhere from...

Pros: Terrain (for the area), variety, off-mountain activities, hotel and shops
Cons: Capacity (lifts), weather, grooming

I'm a Washington DC/Baltimore native and we don't have much choice around here when it comes to skiing/boarding. Compared to mega west coast resorts, the little 10 trail slopes in this region are disappointing. But 7 Springs offers a nice variety of...

Pros: Fun to ski, good snow, excellent night activities
Cons: Limited expert skiing

For those in the Mid-Atlantic who can't get away to Vermont or Colorado, Seven Springs is your best bet for a good local experience. Both the mountain and the after-skiing activities make Seven Springs the ultimate resort in Pennsylvania.

The...

Pros: A wonderful Mid-Atlantic option
Cons: Limited ski season.

The Mid-Atlantic region needs to be a sub-section in ski books and magazines. The region from North Carolina to New Jersey has an abundance of ski areas, most of which you've never heard of. But, the truth is, these lodges and resorts provide...

Pros: Good snowmakers
Cons: Expensive

I live 45 minutes away from this beautiful pristine resort. It's hidden away in Pennsylvannia's rolling hills. There are many challenging slopes for skiiers in every different skill level. There is even a tubing park and terrain park for snowboarders. It...

Pros: Great Pennsylvania skiing
Cons: Lift tickets pretty costly

The question most people ask me is "Where should I go, Seven Springs or Hidden Valley?" Both ski resorts offer great skiing, but I happen to like Seven Springs better because it offers more of a challenge rather than Hidden Valley. Now don't...

Pros: variety of slopes, great lodge
Cons: sometimes icy conditions

I have been going to Seven Springs for over ten years. It is an amazing resort with great accommodations and slopes. Since I first started vacationing at Seven Springs I have immensely enjoyed my stay and eagerly awaited a return visit.

Seven...

Pros: Their excellent snowblowers keep the slopes in good conditions
Cons: Lifts are slow, and frequently stopped

Out of the many years that I have skiied, I would have to say that Seven Springs is one of the top resort's all around, and the best ski area in Pennsylvania. This complex is well maintained with excellent ski conditions all winter due to their grade A...

Pros: SNOW TUBING!!!
Cons: Instructors, shopping, lines

I went to 7 Springs the first time on a school trip in January. It was the first time I had seen snow in 7 years, and I was pretty excited. It wasn't all that I had expected though. First of all, stay in hotel rooms if you are with a group. The...

Pros: North Face, snow tubing, Ski tots, facilities
Cons: it's not in Colorado or Utah

For more than 30 years my family has regularly visited Seven Springs Resort. We have recently moved to the Cincinnati area, and many people here have asked me for weekend ski trip tips in Pennsylvania or West Virginia. Always, always I suggest Seven...
