Overview
Surrounded by a national forest, Snowshoe Mountain is perfectly situated in the beautiful Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia. With 60 slopes to test your skills and a convenient location just a day’s drive from major cities — such as Charlotte, N.C.; Washington, D.C.; Raleigh, N.C.; Richmond, Va.; and Columbus, Ohio — Snowshoe ranks among the best winter resorts on the East Coast.
Whether you’re interested in downhill or cross-country skiing, snowboarding, tubing and snowmobiling, or just relaxing in the spa, Snowshoe has it all. Meetings are scheduled for early morning or late afternoon, allowing ample time to enjoy the sights and sounds of Snowshoe.
