I could use a little help with planning a Presidents' weekend getaway. We're a family of four advanced skiers from the DC area who hate crowds. During the MLK weekend, we hit Canaan Valley in WV and never had to wait in line (and they had gotten like 8 inches a few days earlier!!) While it doesn't look like the weather will cooperate with fresh snow, we're hoping to at least try and minimize the lift lines.
So, we're thinking of trying Plattekill cause we heard that it doesn't get that crowded. Someone though mentioned Elk and from what I can find, it sounds like it is good for avoiding crowds as well (and is closer).
Any thoughts on what type of lift lines we could expect at either place? Would you suggest one over the other or a different place all together?
FWIW, we considered Blue Knob (limited terrain open) and CV/Timberline (CV sounds like the snow is getting thin/Timberline is a zoo if you don't stay on the expert lift - which is fine but would like to ski more than 4 trails or so.)
Thanks in advance guys!
