Here are 5 reasons this is the best winter vacation for everyone:

1. Great Deals!

That's right, you can take the whole family for vacation on a budget. When you book your stay at one of Winterplace's selected partners, you can get a "ski free" package. Not only will you get a lift ticket for each night booked, you'll also get a free ski lesson!

There are even more deals and discounts online. Or, try your luck at the weekly ski trip giveaway. Every Monday, 1 lucky family of up to 6 will win free lift tickets and group ski lessons for a 2-day weekend.

2. Skiing for every level

With more than 25 trails, Winterplace boasts a selection of runs for newbies to experts. You'll spend all weekend working your way through them. They're all clearly marked, so it will be easy to find the trails that suit your skill level.

If you're really nervous, the lessons come with a guarantee: if the proven teaching method doesn't work, you can re-take the course for free! Even the kids can enjoy a lesson, with SkiWee programs for children as young as 4. (The younger kiddos can spend a fun day of their own in the day care center while you enjoy the slopes.)

3. More to do

If skiing doesn't excite everyone in the family, there are so many more options! Maybe you're more suited for snowboarding? Or, you can kick back and still take on the hills at the largest tubing park in West Virginia.

And inside, you'll find everything from dining to karaoke to concerts. Sip some hot chocolate and just peer over the powdered mountainside, or give your voice a tune up and belt out your favorite tune for some prizes.

4. Exciting challenges

For anyone are really looking for excitement, those slopes get really intense. Try all the pro-level runs till you can slide down them error-free. If you master them skiing, you can try snowboarding for a whole new challenge.

Still thirsty for a thrill? Game on. Go big and try some daring tricks at the Terrain Parks. Whiz down different ramps and leap through the air, freestyling as you see fit.

5. Long days

If you want to stretch out your time on the slopes, you can stay out and play 14 hours per day on the weekends, and 13 on weekdays. No other park in the Southeast will give you as much ski time.

Yes, that means nighttime skiing. Your lift ticket will last until the sun goes down. See how the landscape changes, and enjoy the sunset from the mountaintops.
