[3] Whitetail is located between Mercersburg, Pennsylvania and Clear Spring, Maryland and serves the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area.

Located 89 miles (143 km) from Washington, D.C., and 92 miles (148 km) from Baltimore, Maryland, Whitetail is the second-closest ski resort to Washington and the third-closest to Baltimore (behind sister resorts Liberty Mountain and Ski Roundtop).

[4] The resort operates a snow tubing park alongside the ski hill.

Whitetail Resort's trail system was specifically designed to separate skiers of different skiing abilities.

Whitetail's trails are a series of straight parallels noted for the steady, sustained pitch of their vertical drop.

The notable 2017–18 North American winter boosted Whitetails sales and extended the ski season until late-March.
