Canaan Valley, West Virginia
Just three hours from Washington DC and Pittsburgh, PA, Canaan Valley Resort Ski Area is an excellent low-cost holiday destination for families.
In recent years, Canaan Valley has won numerous awards from Liftopia, including top rankings in family-friendly and best-value categories. Besides skiing, the area offers a 1,200ft tubing park and a covered outdoor ice skating.
Your kiddos can stay free in one of the 160-lodge rooms and suites, and the resort also has 23 cabins and cottages to rent.
A 6-night stay in early January, including two days of skiing, lessons, skating, tubing, accommodations, dining, and access to the fitness center, is under $2500 for a family of four, leaving room in your budget for lots of hot chocolate by the fire!
