Food Scene
It's simply the best. Best people, best volume to price ratio after a long day outside. Be prepared for it to be slammed sometimes on weekends. I think they're closed Mondays. My favorite is the goofy foot burrito but with bluecheese and grilled mushrooms. Oh yeah. I made burritos here once upon a time. Good tap selection too. More and more good WV breweries online now like Chestnut Brew Works and the very local Stumptown.

Sometimes the pizza is good. Hit and miss in my opinion, but the dinner options are a little slim. Cash only.

Whitegrass isn't just for shredding and outdoor winter bliss. It's even more about the sense of community and all the lovely personalities that make this place magic. Oh yeah, the cafe is amazing. Hot cider and soup please. I've given my mom both their cookbooks and then had to get my own. On the weekends they do full dinners so check their website for more info.

One of the best coffee shops you'll ever visit. That's what I hear and experience to be true. Friday nights are burger nights with local beef, and you bet it'll be slammed. The baked confections are just amazing. The whiskey selection, pretty dang good. Can't miss this place. Sometimes I like to work remotely here.

Sometimes when it's hot out, this is just what you need. Soft serve only. I prefer scoops at the Fiddle

This place is a sort of time and culture warp experience. Good place to get a hardy, greasy breakfast before a big day. Diner meets home-cooking.

It's a decent place to get dinner if hellbender's is slammed and you want a little more elbow room. Outdoor seating is a plus. This used to be the laundromat once upon a time. Sometimes live music.

Something for everyone here whether you've never been on cross country skis or you've been alpine skiing for years and want to try tele-style through the wooded slopes. Take a class, rent the gear or better yet, buy your own set up. You'll end up wanting to be here every snow day.
