Snow covers mountain resorts as openings woo skiers
Greensboro resident Corey Jinnette skied at Winterplace amid unusually warm December weather delaying openings. Winterplace planned to open on Dec 7 but warm temperatures pushed it back. Pfieffer noted 28 degrees wet bulb as snowmaking threshold. Snowshoe Mountain in Pocahontas County opened last weekend, the latest in 28 years. Canaan Valley Resort and Timberline Four Seasons expect slopes to open soon.

Historic Mercer house eyed as education center and courthouse
The moving and restoration of a Mercer County house cost estimates around 5600 dollars for the truck move and five to ten thousand dollars for restoration. It is described as peacefully haunted by a female suicide victim named Josie. The plan envisions a historic education center and venue for public meetings and may raise the place’s reputation as Mercer County’s first county courthouse. Darrell McPherson helped rally funding with Mountain Resource Conservation and Development Area. The house sits near Brush Creek and the old Tazewell Turnpike, once owned by the Wall family and later sold to Najar.
