Fun Mountain with Serious Safety Concerns
Posted on 01/07/2011 by: Christi

Whitetail has the best skiable terrain of the "close in" DC/Balt metro area. I love the facilities, service, cleanliness, even the food is far better than average, but we won't be going back. Whitetail completely misses the mark in mountain safety. We ski on average of 60+ days a year all over the region and out West. I have never seen less presence or concern for safety. The number of reckless rider/skiers was astonishing. And we didn't see a single safety patrol in 8 hours on the slopes. We did witness several injuries being attended to quickly and professionally, but NOT ONE bit of evidence that they were trying to prevent injuries and rein in reckless behavior. We did directly discuss our concerns with ski patrol and they told us it's not their fault they have reckless riders. I beg to differ and we did take our business elsewhere. Brain injuries are forever. Broken bones end a season and maybe a life. Really a shame...

Great Weekday Get Away
Posted on 01/28/2010 by: Christi

We had always avoided Whitetail because of the crowds. Now we know why they're there. This will now be our close in DC/Baltimore #1 get away. Impressive in all aspects and most vertical in the area with some of the best, longest blue groomers around...very long, consistently pitched. Bold Decision, the only double black has one notable steep pitch. While not technically challenging, it made for a great day trip destination. Play hooky and check it out.

"A family friendly ski resort"
Posted on 01/04/2009 by: Jerome Lukas

Whitetail is a really fine place to bring your family to learn how to ski. The instructors are kind, patient and skilled in teaching. The slopes are easy and the latest new green run is terrific for beginning skiers.

The food is generally awful and VERY OVER PRICED! Also, Whitetail is in a dry county, so there are no alcoholic beverages to warm up with after skiing.

However, the slopes are well marked and easily accessed by good lifts. The Black Diamonds are challenging to experienced skiers.

Easy drop off and great ski shop (with excellent demo skis available). In fact, the staff in this shop are brilliant and totally up to date on the latest technology.

Keeping the snow going
Posted on 01/04/2009 by: Anonymous

Busy end of the Christmas/New Year holidays byt Whitetail is keeping up the snowmaking and it's still enjoyable. 1/2 was less crowded in the morning, but the sun came out later and even though busy, still really good!

Fun, close place to hit the slopes
Posted on 01/03/2009 by: Anonymous

Great snowmaking equipment lets Whitetail have pretty good conditions most days of the season. The amenities are good and plentiful, with tons of lockers and changing rooms available, but the cafeteria is way expensive (as you'd expect, I guess). Nice trails and continued improvements make for a really good experience.
