Locally we did an overnight at the Battlefield Bed and Breakfast in the Gettysburg area and skied at Liberty. Make reservations in advance if you plan to do the ski camp. The hill is small and icy but it'll do for one afternoon esp. if you are out of shape!
Canaan Valley area near Davis WV has 2 small ski areas, Canaan Valley and Timberline, there are lodges and plenty of houses for rent but it is booking up.
Snowshoe is a longer drive but bigger ski area, cheapest condo I've seen runs $250 a night in high season and there is little other options nearby.

Utah and ski liberty as comparable options ? Don't get thAt

Never go to ski liberty

What does that matter? It sucks to ski in crowded, icy conditions with hillbillies flailing around no matter what your skill level.

No need to be nasty. For kids who haven't been skiing a long time, Snowshoe is perfectly adequate and has a nice village, and is drivable. It sounds like a lot of people have money and time to throw around, so go throw it around lest you run into a "hillbilly" on the slopes.

It's not the easiest drive. Some mind find flying easier.

And if you like crowds of dudes wearing camo and smoking on the slopes, go nuts. The lodging there is all terrible too.

There is lodging at every price point. You're ridiculous.

You could go to Utah, stay in SLC and ski at whatever place has the best conditions. Deer Valley and PC tend to have less snow than the other Utah places so it's nice to not be locked into skiing there. Plus this option is much, much cheaper. Most resorts are 30-45 min drive from the city.
