Lift lines impresively SHORT the day I visited. No high speed lift, so expect to spend too much time on the lift, but their lift is faster than Timberline's! Nice selection of trails with a variety of terrain for the beginner, intermediate, advanced intermediate. Only about 60% of the runs open, but what there was skied well. All had been groomed and held up well during the day. Some nice trails through the woods, but overall made me think of a super-sized version of a midwest ski area. The climb from the parking area, to the lodge, to the lifts (main ski area) is tough, so expect to be tired before you ever ski. Very nice place, great two days skiing combined with visit to Timberline. No combo tickets offered, however.

I like Canaan better than Timberline for the simple fact that the lift lines are 200% better. Timberline needs to put in a surface lift for advanced skiers/boarders to access the more advanced terrain. I like the trails better at Canaan too. Both resorts could have better snow making equipment.

Great day to ski on MLK Monday. No lines and powder from storm. Still spend longer on lifts than skiing, but fun for a day. Like the Timberline/Canaan Valley combo! Don't recommend the food in the cafeteria.

Got really lucky and ended up there on a powder day. Over 2 feet of untracked slopes. Perfect day at a great price. Thanks liftopia!

Canaan Valley is a good one day resort. The snow quality was good due to a recent storm. However, the lift infrastructure is old and their snow making is spotty. The new lodge is nice and the people were friendly. For a nice weekend duo, couple Canaan Valley with Timberline a few miles away.

Great low key ski resort with virtually no crowds.
Snow quality would be fantastic all season around but be aware that there is no express lift and you will sit still longer than you want so bring a hand warmer.
In general, can't think any better place to ski for the price.

Call ahead to find out how many slopes are open. There were few people and no lift lines, but not too many slopes open.

Call ahead to find out how many trails are actually open! When we arrived the first day, only ~1/3 of the mountain was open--a few greens and black diamonds only. The website did not indicate so few trails were open. Otherwise, very low key ski area, not crowded.
