It is worth the slightly longer drive (from the DC area) to go to Whitetail, instead of Liberty.

At least last weekend, Liberty had 4 of 7 runs open, whereas Whitetail had 7 of 7 runs open.

Whitetail is bigger.

Liberty has more beginners, although both places have a lot of beginners.

Our neighbor is an expert skier.  When he skies locally, he always prefers Whitetail over Liberty.[/quote]

From NoVA, drive to Whitetail is 15-20 min. longer. Whether one prefers Whitetail to Liberty is probably personal reference. I prefer Whitetail for longer runs so i can work on carving - I also like the express quad from the base to the top. I like Liberty for some of the side hits on the back side and the park setup, although Whitetail has raised its game this season with setting up the park along side Snowpark. (Speaking for me and 2 boys).[/quote]

The beginners area at WT has 2 lifts and is separated from the rest of the place. The middle lift (non-express) serves 2 greens and the park. 1 of the greens, Snowpark, is a good for progressing onto steeper blues. I do think the blues at WT are steeper than Liberty - WT just has more vertical than Liberty. Also, the blues are a bit more spread out at WT. At Liberty, when it gets crowded the back side (where the blues are) become a shit show.

OP here. How does SnowPark compare to Dipsy Doodle? Is it harder or similar?[/quote]

Dipsy Doodle is a much longer run - but except for that first and short steep drop on the backside when you start the run, it's very mellow the rest of the way. Snow Park is much steeper and for a longer portion of the run. If just comparing local resorts in the mid-atlantic, one could call it a baby blue.[/quote]
