Given that a major blizzard is about to engulf the Baltimore-Washington
area, I don't know why I'm thinking of going to a place with more snow,
but that's what I'm doing.  I want to teach my wife and daughter about the
joys of cross-cuntry skiing, so we'd like to take a long weekend up to Canaan
Valley, West Virginia, and we're interested in finding a cabin or condo to
rent.  I've been in the State Park, but I've also backpacked in Dolly
Sods, and from the crest of Cabin Mountain, I see that there's a lot more
development going on in the valley, so there must be other choices for
accomadations. 

There are three of us, so a 1-2 bedroom cabin would be fine.  A fireplace 
or woodstove would be nice.  A kitchen is essential, as we would like to 
cook our meals.  Indoor plumbing would be preferred, though I've heard  
that the State of West Virginia has some "rustic cabins" with outhouses 
that are very inexpensive.  

What else is there to do in Canaan Velley besides downhill and 
Cross-country skiing?  Is there a place to go ice skating?  On natural 
ice? Sleigh rides?  Any places where families get together?  Are 
cross-country ski rentals available on-site?

We're thinking of President's Day weekend, or another weekend in February 
if we can't find any reasonable accomadations then.

Thanks,

Joe
