**** Remember in the winter you're probably coming for great skiing.
It doesn't just snow on the ski slopes.
Come prepared for snow & icy conditions on the roads.
GPS won't help to find your way here.  It's GOOD to be off the beaten track.  Use your GPSr to get you to Valley Head - or Marlinton. Then follow these written directions.
