To a Leaf Falling in Winter

by W. S. Merwin from Present Company
At sundown when a day's words
have gathered at the feet of the trees
lining up in silence
to enter the long corridors
of the roots into which they
pass one by one thinking
that they remember the place
as they feel themselves climbing
away from their only sound
while they are being forgotten
by their bright circumstances
they rise through all of the rings
listening again
afterward as they
listened once and they come
to where the leaves used to live
during their lives but have gone now
and they too take the next step
beyond the reach of meaning

We'll be making a run for the mountains very soon, I am sure.talk to ya later, marc * This year we offered ULLR a pair of skis that belonged to a friend we lost a while back to cancer.

Freaky STyle WG If you've ever skied WhiteGrass this video makes complete sense! The kind of place you might want to plan your entire winter around.

At 140" +/-average snowfall in CANAAN we almost double Erie! ERIE, PA. 88 * BUFFALO, NY 93 * TALKEETNA, AK 115 * MARQUETTE, MI 141 * MT. WASHINGTON, NH 260

Try to weight and steer the back skis in the tele turn ...Tilt your skis on edge to cross a sidehill...i.e anywhere at WG...place your weight firmly over each step like monster-giant stomping and again travel forward and be the boss...Basic athletic flexed ankle and knee postion throughout your skiing and when you stride your body needs to up out and forward and your knees should lead the way...

I skied Whitegrass Feb 2nd-4th with buddy Skip Coulter who has been talking up your place for years. Enjoyed it as best ski-touring experience I have had. Skip explained the "snow farming" system and it reminded me of a poem I wrote years ago in Limerick style (although not ribald): Snow fences on farms near the road Help a snow-burdened wind to unload; By sifting and sighing, Without even trying, They harvest what winter has sowed. Keep up the good work-play. (Ideally it's all the same) Namaste. Dave Opilo

Vic / Visit Canaan.com

Whitegrass is the home of West Virginia cross-country skiing and one of the best places for backcountry fun on the entire East Coast. Chip and Mikey will ensure you have the gear you need, and lessons are available all day for beginners and experts alike. Try your hand (and knees) at Telemark skiing, wind up through the trees to fabulous views from the top of Bald Knob, or stay low in the snow farm where the drifts are high and are guaranteed to last all season. Relax and warm up after your exertions with a bowl of Laurie’s fabulous chili at the ski barn, then go out and do it all again. A-Frame of Mind

It's back up the east coast this weekend to 1 new place (Martin's in Roanoke, VA) and 2 of our most beloved places The Purple Fiddle in Thomas, WV and Cafe Nola in Frederick, MD. Christabel and the Jons

you and Niki in the Whitegrass shop in 2002. You two make a beautiful couple.Niki and I think of you and the Whitegrass crew often and still check your website to see how the conditions are and to see photos of the site and the gang. We still use the two Cafe cookbooks we bought (and have given away a number of each to family and friends. We will need to visit just to buy more.)The closest cross country skiing we have found in Southern California is Rim Nordic in Running Springs, about 90 minutes from us and close to Big Bear. It only has 10 km of groomed trails and all of it is pretty flat. What they call Blue is almost like Gandalf's, and what the call Black is not even as steep or twisty as Three Mile. And there ain't nothin' like Wild Bill's! Hope you and intrepid skiers had a great Full Moon Ski last night with the Wolf Moon shining bright. Wish we had been with you. Jerry Kappel & Niki Patterson (Whitegrass denizens 1995-2005)

Thank you for taking the time to meet with the New Germany crew. We enjoyed seeing your grooming equipment and getting tips on techniques and appropriate conditions. We also got some new ideas for snow reporting and website design. We even took a look at your signs and shelters while we enjoyed skiing that afternoon. One question we thought of:Do you do anything about hard-packed ice? I decided to go out last Saturday and try to break it up as things started warming up. It really put a drag on the snowmobile and it almost started overheating, so I only did 1 mile up and back. Despite the strain on the equipment, it became the only safely skiable trail that day.Melissa D. McCormick, New Germany State Park, MD & Allegany Expeditions, Cumberland,MD

This may just be a coincidence, but the snow dance at Roundtop on New Year's Day came at the beginning of early January's WG powderfest...mha

I have traveled pretty much two thirds of the country in search of good kiting and work of course since the new year and have my best session in the dark under the lites of my home base. Big snow comin' this weekend. We are rockin' round here! JR.

One student commented to me after 15 minutes in the cafe that he loved the great vibe. Thanks for all the help from the staff in quickly getting us set-up. We had a blast and I hope to see you again this weekend! Gene Lewis, Shenandoah University

Sunday was a stellar day at White Grass. Kelly, Hop and I traveled down for the 25K Marathon and saw several familiar faces. Chip put on a wonderful race and the course conditions were very good. The sunshine made for a perfect day. Thanks Chip! The karma is fantastic at White Grass and everyone is like family. It truly proves that X-C skiing is a sport that stretches across the generations. If you haven't been here be sure to give it a try. It won't disappoint. We were already planning our next visit on the way home. Sandy Kruper

Winter is back by popular demand Kelly D. (sweet VA)

I hope all is well with you and your family. My wife and I have been skiing4 days in a row right here in Yogaville! We got 12-14 inches of nice powder snow. I just finished cutting and splitting my firewood for next year and I'm feeling pretty good. Have fun:) Reggie Dion

VA BC is real right now! Haven’t been out to whitegrass in too long, but VA backcountry is a real thing right now! I skied an 800 vertical foot shot off of the AT this past weekend and it’s only getting covered up more now with this weeks storms. This is an incredible Mid-Atlantic winter! Marty Quinn Charlottesville, VA

"This was my first time at Whitegrass and it made quite a first impression! I walked into a building packed full of character…huge woodstove burning in the corner, live fiddle and banjo, room packed full of energetic outdoors folk, jovial staff, wonderful scents of soups infusing the scene---I’ll definitely be back." Dr. Steve Godshall

My experiences with you guys at White Grass got me hooked on backcountry hiking and camping that spurred me on to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail in 2008. Spencer

I hope that my email finds you well. I had my first experience at White Grass over MLK weekend -- and am officially in love! We had an amazing time and truly enjoyed every little detail of your place. The trails, the people, the food -- everything was incredible. We are honestly counting down the days until we can come back. One thing that we didn't get to experience was dinner at your cafe! We had no idea this was even an option, however, all of the reservations were booked. (Now I can see why!) We bought our own copy of your cookbook, however, would definitely like to have dinner with you during our next visit.-- Many thanks! Lauren Kopcha

Here’s to the next 20! Dave from Park School

...just wanted to thank you and all the amazing people that make Whitegrass such a special place to visit. Years ago I learned to telemark at the NATO course and I was able to bring my wife and dog Jake to see what Whitegrass is all about - they had a blast! keep up the great work and the blazing harmonica skills. All the best - Adam Spivak

stro Had a great time skiing and love the vibe at Whitegrass. Remember, when the frog jumps, the snow has turned to corn. Cheers, geo

Just a big, friendly "thanks" to your staff who helped make Saturday great for our entire family. It's tough to find activities you can all truly enjoy together when you have two toddlers. So in desperate need of exercise, fresh air, and "the WG vibe", we packed up the crew and drove the 3 hours Saturday only to find you were packed (great to see!) and there were no more pulks available to rent. We were absolutely crushed. But rather than simply turn us away, your kind and accomodating staff dragged several old rigs (and one pulk!) from the shed until he found something that would work and adjusted the seat so we could fit both our children. We had a blast! Time and again we commented that so many places may have had one "policy" or another that wouldn't have allowed such a move; or simply wouldn't have staff motivated enough to trouble-shoot a solution. Instead, you not only accomodated us with HUGE smiles, but didn't charge us for the rental. Typical WG. Can't say enough about how much that meant to us all. Best day we've had as a family in a LONG time. Priceless, right? Warm regards- Emily, Gary, Brigs (3) and Curry (1) , Ligonier, PA

This is a wonderfully off the grid place where skiing (no matter how well or poorly), food, and friends are the whole thing. The terrain is amazing offering easy greens to well above my talent level blacks. There are some extraordinary telemarkers weaving patterns down the face and a whole lot more skinny skis and red cheeks just going with flow. The rustic lodge is really a shed with the most tantalizing smells in the world coming out from a modern, if crowded kitchen. It's hard to find a place to sit and the energy and buzz are just amazing. If you want to leave the mall and find the back country...or enjoy some set tracks through gorgeous countryside, come on out. Being how it is WV and conditions are subject to change check out the site. White Grass is an unparalled full on EXPERIENCE for all the senses.

After hearing people rave about the place for years, I finally enjoyed a meal at Canaan's White Grass Cafe earlier this month - and, wow, was it worth the wait. On the grounds of White Grass, a cross-country skiing center with a decidedly international vibe, the cafe offers one of the most unique dining experiences I've enjoyed in some time. Ted/WV Food Guy

Chip Chase founded White Grass in 1979. No one in the ski world before or since has had a better time on skis or doing anything related to snow (Ive been buzzin since I was born!). That zest is totally communicable. White Grass is a blast, in a lot of ways a throwback to the 1960s, with much more wool than lycra. You'll find easy trails and gnarly trails amidst a lot of snow, gentle streamsides, hardwoods, conifers, and a big meadow by the lodge. You'll see everyone from kids being pulled in pulks to folks in their 70s, all wearing huge smiles. Jonathan

"Chip, you are my hero!! You don't take life too seriously, you throw an excellent party, and we are facing youtube fame together!  I really love that video, Becky and I agreed that was a most organic jam in a beautiful place on a perfect day.  See you soon...yay! Rachel Eddy

Our senior Senator, Robert C. Byrd, is fond of noting that: “West Virginia is one of the most beautiful and unique places. It is the most southern of the northern and the most northern of the southern; the most eastern of the western and the most western of the eastern. It is where the East says good morning to the West, and where Yankee Doodle and Dixie kiss each other good night!” Indeed, West Virginia is a most beautiful and unique place. And with the introduction of our legislation, “Wild Monongahela: A National Legacy for West Virginia’s Special Places, we are striving to keep it that way” Hon.

Ullr is the Norse god of skiers, and Skade is his wife. According to mythology, Skade was a mortal granted the right to marry a god, and being partial to the mountains, she chose Ullr.

When winter is a no-show in the mid-Atlantic region, count on West Virginia's Dolly Sods Wilderness, four hours west of Washington, D.C., for a healthy dose of the real thing. Perched on a 4,000-foot tableland in the Allegheny Mountains, the Sods averages more than 12 feet of snow each year. Wind permitting, follow the Breathed Mountain and Big Stonecoal trails into the high plains, with their decidedly Western feel. White Grass is known for some of the best and most extensive cross-country skiing on the East Coast, with a natural foods cafe that attracts nearly as many fans. All 31 miles of the center's varied trails, half of which are groomed, are open following the weekend storm. A one-day trail fee is $12 for adults; rentals are $12 on weekdays and $15 for weekends and holidays.(Wash Post)Total # of Trails: 44 with 50KM, 30 KM machine groomed Beginner 30% Intermediate 55% Advanced 15% Top Elev.: 4436 Base Elev.3250 Vertical Drop:1200' Terrain Features pretty challenging constantly varying open hardwood glades, pastures, mountaintops, old ski area runs, railroad grades.

"skiing is not a matter of life and death, it’s more important than that"

The pure spirit of skiing and the good life is alive and well and living at Whitegrass. I know of no other place where skiers gather and get closer to that wonderful spiritual aspect of skiing and fellowship. That special place in all nords that makes us want to go outside put on our skis and have fun. Whitegrass is quite simply my favorite ski area in North America.
