WEST VIRGINIA (LOOTPRESS) – Winter weather is coming, and we can already feel the bitter cold starting to creep in as temperatures begin to gradually drop day by day. But the winter weather only makes exploring the Mountain State so much more interesting.
Those looking for multiple activities to do this winter season that is not too far apart are in luck as the Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad and Snowshoe Mountain Ski Resort both offer activities that will make for an unforgettable journey.
Start the day off with a scenic train ride aboard the Elkins Winter Special which is a 4-hour train ride that starts at the historic Elkins Depot in Randolph County. The Elkins Winter Special train features enclosed cars with assigned seating and trips start in January of 2023.
On the trip along the Tygart River to Tygart Junction, enjoy a cold-cut lunch, which is included in the ticket price. If you’re looking for comfort and spectacular river views on a vintage train, then this is the ride for you!

Snowshoe features some of the best ski slopes around as well as The Village which features après, restaurants and shops at hand.
The resort also offers lodging for a warm and cozy overnight stay after a long day of taking in what the Mountain State has to offer.
