Snowshoe Mountain Ski Resort

Can anyone tell me what they think about SnowShoe Mountain Ski resort in West Virginia? I plan on going during Spring break (March 2- 7)going shredding.

Awesome dude. I hope for the best in the trip I am going on in March. Ive always wanted to go night boarding. Maybe my group will consider after all its a crew of about 5-10 people at the moment.

Thanks

Girlfriend and I plan on going to snowshoe for spring break for a weekend trip. Where is a good place to stay for 2 people?

Originally posted by eharmonies I would like Snowshoe a little better if there was cell phone coverage anywhere within a two hour radius of it. No bars on Sprint or Verizon. Good information on their website about this too: http://www.snowshoemtn.com/getting-here/faq/other_faq.htm

I understand this very well we dont have any coverage near my resort in TN either only maybe 1 bar if any.

Been there twice in 5 years.  First time was my third trip (all on east coast).  Thought it was amazing.  Biggest resort id been too (live in Georiga).  for the next two years we flew to Vail and Beavercreek.  Wanted to get another week in so drove up to snowshoe.  It was terrible.  Snow suck, too many people on the greens that just stand right in the middle of a run.  Runs that go down hill then up hill.  Lift lines at the bottom of the runs had too many poeple, runs were way to short.  My point in telling you this, if you are better than a beginner, stay on the blacks and blue because those will be your best bet.  Snowshoe is great if you have never been out west or even farther up north.  But if you have, be prepaired to be dissapointed. 

Anyone interested in hitting up snowshoe within the next two weeks, midweek? looking for some bros to share a room, with

Rumor has it the leaves have started  changing out in the Wva highlands

Snowshoe is a great resort. The western territory is what makes the place. I enjoy the village as well. It's the only eastern ski resort that i know of that has a starbucks slopside for a nice touch.

highway12south,

I try to go there once a year. I am very familiar with the place. I live within 4 hours of the place, so it works out nice for a weekend/long weekend getaway. I booked a four day trip just a few weeks ago as a matter of fact for this February. Do you ride at snowshoe a lot?

Yea usually midweek  storm chasing.

Not sure at least several feet

I saw they were planning on opening on Nov. 21st. I guess they are still trying to restore power to the area and that sort of stuff

They just officially announced that they are opening on 11/21

If anyone is around or planning on going to snowshoe this might be a good idea to jump on... just happened to see this on the interwebs and it seems like a killer deal.  Sale ends Feb 28th.  Valid for the rest of this season and all of next!

snowshoe was really good last week, nobody there and a bunch of new snow. i think i like silver creek as much if not more, nobody over there at all most of the day. will be going back for sure

Snowed 6 inches last night, according to the email I got from opensnow.  They usually stay open through the end of march, depending on the snow it could be earlier or later.  They've had a good winter this year, so i'd bet on them staying open later.
