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
inches per season; they have the largest vertical drop of 1,500 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 the top resort in the region numerous times by regional and national media outlets.
SkiSoutheast.com's own viewers have voted it the number one ski destination in the Southeast every year since 1996. The reasons are too numerous to mention within this space; however, suffice
it 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
Snow Tubing in WV 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.
What's new for 2011-2012!
- New Pricing Structure
Value is back at Snowshoe. The
mountain is introducing a new
pricing structure featuring new
mid-week discounts, increased
discounts on tickets pre-booked
with lodging and a tiered
structure which means the more
days you ski/ride, the more you
save. Daily lift ticket rates
start as low as $37.
- Freedom Packaging
When booking a Snowshoe
vacation, guests will now have
the freedom to book the lift
tickets they want. Choose your
lodging from any one of
Snowshoe’s 1,400 options and
then book the lift tickets that
fit your party. Think Mom wants
a day off to shop? No problem.
Bringing along a non-skiing
friend? Great! You build the

sake bar.
- New Winch Cat Groomer
This new piece of equipment will
allow Snowshoe to groom its
steepest slopes to perfection
every night. The winch cat

Shay’s Revenge, Upper Ballhooter
and Spruce Glades.
