Whitetail Resort is in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. Whitetail is a southern Pennsylvania mountain with beginner, intermediate and advanced runs, terrain parks and lighted slopes. Its progressive layout lets groups discuss a learning day or longer mountain laps without assuming every rider wants the same terrain.

- Southern Pennsylvania ski and snowboard mountain
- Lighted trails for scheduled evening riding
- Lesson windows beside the main ticket windows

## Terrain and ability

Start first-timers with Ski & Ride School rather than choosing a summit run from the map. More confident riders can plan groomed trail or park laps separately. Lighted trails make evening riding possible, but the current lift and terrain report determines what is actually available that night.

## Arrival, bases and lessons

Group lessons meet at the Group Lesson Windows, to the left of the main ticket windows; private lessons check in at the Private Lesson Window beside them. Rentals come from the Whitetail Rental Building after check-in. A lesson booking alone does not necessarily include rentals or lift access.

## Plan a meetup

Use the main ticket windows as the landmark and include an arrival time that leaves room for rental fitting. If friends join after work, agree on an evening regroup and verify their ticket period; daytime and night plans should not rely on identical operating hours.

Use the [meetup message planner for Whitetail Resort](https://skibudsapp.com/guides/ski-buddy-meetup-checklist?resort=whitetail#meetup-planner) to agree on your date, terrain, pace and meeting point.
