But West Virginia is still packed with adventure even when the temperatures drop!

From miles and miles of gorgeous hiking trails to several ski resorts covered in fresh powder, the wintertime activities in West Virginia are plentiful.

Kenny Parker, buyer for WaterStone Outdoors, said he has his go-to favorites.

“I’m geared up for all of it so I would say it would depend on conditions, right? If it’s a cold, sunny day, rock-climbing would be the thing to do, you know, for me. If it’s been dry, you know, relatively but it’s cold, mountain biking is excellent around here, so,” said Parker.

Parker said for the daring and dedicated there’s always kayaking one of southern West Virginia’s rivers as well.

He said no matter what the season or the weather, there’s always a stellar activity ready for you in West Virginia.
