Welcome to Winter Fun! Great values, adventure awaits

Whether you are a seasoned skier or rider or just looking forward to your first bunny slope, Winterplace offers something for everyone! This year marks the 23rd running of the Old North State Council's hugely popular Scouts on Skis program at Winterplace Ski Resort in Ghent, West Virginia. Located just two and a half hours north of Greensboro, the mountain is both convenient and challenging for all levels of skiers and riders. This year's basic package will have you zipping down the slopes in no time and comes complete with your lift ticket, ski rental, helmet rental and Ski School!! Meal vouchers are not included but can be purchased separately. More than 700 Scout families made the Scouts on Skis their choice for winter fun in 2024. I hope you will join us this season!!

This year we have two new things. The first is that we will have a Snow Sports Merit Badge counselor at Winterplace on all three Sundays to sign off on requirements (more information below). The second is if your troop or pack wants to do some cold weather camping, you can do so at the Summit Bechtel Reserve (More Information below).

Snow Sports Merit badge

We will have a Snow Sports merit badge instructor there every weekend to help you earn the Merit badge!
