What's New for Snowshoe Mountain for 2007-2008
 Every
season offers something exciting and new to experience at
Snowshoe Mountain and this season is no different! Last
season Snowshoe added a new high-speed, detachable quad lift and
announced plans to cut two new trails.
However, once
construction began a spectacular gladed area emerged and
Snowshoe is pleased to unveil three new slopes for the 07-08
season, bringing the mountain total to 60 diverse trails!
Partnered with the mountain's newest development, Sawmill,
(Click here to see more about Sawmill!)
Snowshoe has added three trails and they are all marked for
experts! They are located on the southern side of the
mountaintop, (to the left of the Widowmaker Trail as you would
see the mountain from the bottom) and they will all be serviced
by the one year-old Soaring Eagle Express high-speed quad. The
expansion marks the first time in 10 years Snowshoe has
introduced new trails.
(Snowshoe actually did widen several
trails back in 2004, which also increased its skiable acres.)
The 11 acres of freshly cut trails have been named Camp 99
(see map above), Sawmill and Sawmill Glades. The names continue the mountain's tradition
of trail names honoring the area's logging heritage. A joint
venture with Sawmill Village developers, who contributed
approximately $1 million to the project, the trails will offer
Snowshoe guests residing in the new South Mountain neighborhood
ski-in/ski-out access from the gated community.
 New for Beginners too!
While the new trails cater to the expert skier, and add to the
diverse terrain on all three of Snowshoe's unique areas, the
mountain has not forgotten its beginner guests. A new Magic
Carpet lift will open this season adjacent to Skidder Slope,
aiding the mountain's most inexperienced visitors and servicing
Snowshoe's ski school. The lift will increase the mountain's
uphill capacity by 1,500 skiers per hour.
Area Description:
Snowshoe Mountain offers the most of everything that makes skiing,
snowboarding and generally having a great time on the snow in
the Southeast. They receive the most natural snow at 180" per
season; they have the largest vertical drop of 1500 feet; they
offer the most skiable terrain at 244 acres; they have the most
efficient lift system carrying more than 24,600 people up the
mountain per hour...and the list goes on and on.
Snowshoe Mountain, located in Pocahontas County, is the largest
winter resort in the mid-Atlantic and Southeast, and has been
voted as the top resort in the region numerous times by regional
and national media outlets. SkiSoutheast.com's own
viewers have voted it as the number one ski destination in the
Southeast every year since 1996. The reasons are too numerous to
mention within this space, however suffice to say that you owe
it to yourself to make Snowshoe Mountain one of YOUR
destinations for the coming winter.
Snowshoe is comprised of TWO distinct mountains that are skiable
with ONE lift ticket. The terrain offers challenging trails for
every skill level, and Snowshoe is one of the best resorts
regarding recognizing the ever-growing population of
snowboarders as they offer THREE terrain parks...which are open
to skiers and snowboarders.
In addition to offering skiing and snowboarding, Snowshoe
Mountain offers Snowmobiling, snowshoeing, a tubing hill with 6
lanes, cross country skiing, night skiing, horse-drawn sleigh
rides, hot tubs, and spa facilities and so much more.
For those that want a little diversion from all of the snow
sports, Snowshoe has a lot to offer. Visit the Connection
Nightclub, Comedy Cellar and a host of restaurants and shops.
