The cost of the trip is $32; this includes both transportation and a lift ticket. Participants can rent ski or snowboard packages from the Outdoor Rec Center or bring their own gear.
Adventure WV also will host cross-country ski day trips, downhill ski day trips and ski and snowshoe seminars at Coopers Rock Winter Festival.
If mountain biking is your forte, visit the Wheel Mill or attend a mountain biking seminar at Coopers Rock. Wheel Mill is a 80,000 square foot indoor cycling park with eight rooms offering varying terrain for everyone from beginners to expert riders. The mountain biking seminar at Coopers Rock will teach participants basic skills on beginner trails at Coopers Rock. Participants who are looking for more of a challenge will be able to ride on more demanding trails.
As the weather warms this spring, zip-line through the university research forest at the OEC, Backpack Dolly Sods, attend a ladies-only backpacking trip and rock climb at Coopers Rock.
Aerial Adventures at the Outdoor Education center will be held two weekends in April. The zip-line tour lasts four hours and includes seven platforms, four zip-lines, a sky bridge, a sky ladder and a 45-foot rappel.
During the weekend of April 21, get away from campus for a weekend to explore the 17,371 acres of Dolly Sods Wilderness or the Quebec Run Wild Area.
