Established in 1976 Winterplace Ski Resort was opened on Huff Knob, just southeast of one of West Virginias original (now closed) historic ski areas - Bald Knob Ski Slope. Winterplace Ski Resort is located between Beckley and Princeton West Virginia on interstate I-77 making it one of the most accessible Ski Areas in the Southeast.
