Nation’s first year-round snowpark being built in West Virginia

WAYNE COUNTY, W.Va. (WOWK) — Heritage Farm announced in a TikTok post on Sunday that it is building a year-round indoor/outdoor snowpark in Wayne County, the first of its kind in the nation.

According to the post, the new facilities will include an indoor snowpark as well as an outdoor ski and tubing hill.

The indoor park will feature snow play areas, ice skating, ice slides, snow tubing, snowboarding and skiing. The facility will also be able to produce real snow in up to 70 degree temperatures, all powered by solar panels and reusing the water of any melted snow.

The outdoor park features year-round skiing and tubing slopes, which will be maintained with snowmaking machines and “advanced synthetic technology.” Heritage Farm said in the post that additional trails will be able to be opened from late October through early April each year.

“Many people are working hard to make great things happen for our amazing Appalachian Community here in the Wayne County, West Virginia mountains. As with most large scale projects, there are a lot of moving parts and much still to be done but we are so grateful for the quality workmanship and skill that resides here in our region to take on a world class challenge,” Heritage Farm’s website says about the snowpark project.

Audy Perry, owner of Heritage Farm, told 13 News that the snowpark is already under construction and that there is no opening date at this time.
