Shakleton Crew returns from epic Planational Trail tour
Originally uploaded by ilamhouse
We skiied from Ilam House, out Canaan Loop road, took the first trail off to right- few hundred yards past the gate, the right again on Plantation Trail to Hwy 32. Was a gorgeous, and tough, 4 hr ski – breaking trail through knee/thigh deep snow, and brushing aside all the rhododenrons and other trees and shrubs weighted down and blocking the trail.
Warming hut – Whitegrass!

At end of Allegheny Trail ski – starting at Canaan Heights, and then skiing south 8 miles to Canaan Valley State Park. It was Presidents’ Day 2007, and we had a snow storm dump about a foot of snow on us that day – wonderful!
The house is still open some weekends in March – and great snow conditions at Whitegrass, Timberline and Canaan Valley! House sleeps 12! Click here to read about renting the house and to see when the house is available.
Ilam House is on the ridge line of Canaan Mountain at about 3700 feet, and gets more snow (and more dependable snow cover) than areas down in the heart of Canaan Valley.
Winning golf team – Happy Valley Gold Course, August 2009 tournament – mixed four-somes.
