Steeps and bumps can be found throughout the resort's trails, as well as some gladed skiing. Beginner terrain is also available, although beginners may feel more comfortable at Canaan Valley. Timberline does not have a snowboard terrain park, but it does offer a 200 foot long half-pipe. Telemark and cross-country skiers will find a mapped 17 kilometer back country trail system acessible from Timberline. The resort offers regular clinics and workships catered to Nordic skiers.
Timberline is located in an area rich with recreational activities.
However, good snowmaking is almost universal now and I personally don't find the terrain offered by even the larger West Virginia ski areas such as Timberline, Canaan Valley and Snowshoe interesting enough to justify making the long trip to them very often. For a few hours more the hardcore skier can get to upstate New York or Southern Vermont. Having said that, the Timberline area is pretty neat and the mountains of West Virginia are a fun option for D.C. skiers to experience. Timberline is perhaps a little larger than Whitetail as far as the number of trails offered and vertical drop, but it is in a much more wintry environment. Some of them ride the Timberline chairlift to ski into the adjacent Dolly Sods wilderness area.
