Winter

Winter in Tucker County is about much more than skiing. It’s a season for slowing down, getting outside and making memories together. Bundle up for an exhilarating day of tubing and sledding at Canaan Valley and Blackwater Falls, where snow-covered hills turn into playgrounds for families, friends and kids of all ages. Afterward, warm up with a cozy meal or settle in for an evening by the fire.

Make your winter getaway even more memorable with a slope-side home, mountain cabin or cozy retreat surrounded by the quiet beauty of the Allegheny Mountains. Wake up to snow-dusted forests, sip coffee by the fire and spend the day exploring at your own pace. Whether you’re planning a family adventure or a romantic escape, Tucker County makes it easy to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with the people who matter most.

Winter also reveals a different side of Tucker County’s legendary scenery. Take in sweeping mountain vistas from scenic overlooks, wander through peaceful snow-covered forests and experience the beauty of frozen or rushing waterfalls at places like Blackwater Falls. With crisp mountain air and a landscape transformed by snow and ice, even a simple drive or short walk can become a memorable adventure.

When the sun goes down, the mountain towns of Thomas and Davis come alive with music, art and flavor. Catch live music at an intimate venue, browse galleries and independent shops, and discover locally crafted food, beer, cocktails and other libations. The creative energy of these communities adds warmth and character to winter weekends, giving you plenty of reasons to linger after a day outdoors.
