Canaan Valley Ski Slopes

Canaan Valley Resort Ski Slopes – Drone Footage

One of these days I’m going to do a proper write-up on the skiing in the area.  For now, I wanted you to take a peek at our neighbor’s slopes!  Canaan Valley Resort’s Ski Area is 2 miles north of Golden Anchor Cabins.  On this particular afternoon I saw the clouds breaking and some of that gorgeous blue sky peeking onto the mountian.  I had enough battery life in my drone, affectionately known as Bug-Dog, for one run up the mountain.  I managed to catch some really nice sunlight kissing the snow-covered trees as I flew up near one of Canaan’s chair lifts.  I hope you enjoy the video and keep them in mind for a fun activity this winter!

Longer video from 2/9/2018

First video from 1/26/2018

I flew around for 20 minutes or so before I realized I hadn’t hit the record button.  Rookie mistake…

The Perfect Getaway

May 18, 2026

3 1/2 years ago we were searching for somewhere to get away for the weekend. We feel incredibly lucky to have discovered Golden Anchor. We now visit 2-3 times a year and every trip is as wonderful as the others. Every cabin is beautiful but Meadow has a certain feel to it that keeps bringing us back. There are so many places to explore but even if the weather doesn’t permit a day out the cabin is the perfect place to be.
