The southernmost ski resort in West Virginia,[1] Winterplace is a popular attraction due to its proximity to Interstate 77.

[3] It was founded by future West Virginia governor Hulett C. Smith and businessman John McKay, and designed by former Army officer Robert K.

Another set of two parallel chairs extends from the resort's mid-mountain lodge to the summit, accessing expert and intermediate terrain.

A run of 1.25 miles is available by skiing from the mountain summit to the main base, but multiple chairlift rides are required for return; other trails are a fraction of that length.

[8] The Resort at Glade Springs is located eight miles north of Winterplace in Daniels, West Virginia, near the intersection of I-77 and Interstate 64.
