It has been a busy offseason at Canaan Valley.
While most of the work has been maintenance and getting everything ready for the upcoming season, there are some projects that haven’t been announced yet.
“We do have some new projects in the works right now at the ski area,” Canaan Valley Director of Marketing Mark Moody said. “We are in crunch time and as soon as we get closer to the goal line, we will be ready announce what those projects are.”
The resort updated some snowmaking equipment last season and look to take full advantage this season.
