Top ski resorts like Seven Springs and Hidden Valley are less than an hour's drive from downtown Pittsburgh, where even nonskiers can take a turn snow-tubing, sledding, or renting a snowmobile. The fun doesn't melt away every spring, because that's when the hikers, bikers, campers, and golfers take over. Great weekend getaways include a night in a secluded cabin, bed & breakfast, or four-star resort and spa like Nemacolin Woodlands. The Laurel Highlands are also home to Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural marvels, Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob.
