Snowshoe ski area, West Virginia

  Snowshoe has the biggest elevation drop of any skiresort in the region which in my oppinion makes it a realtively great ski resort. You can get more skiing done before you have to get on the lift again. Which I think is very important in a ski resort. says Tom.

No other ski area for 448 miles has a more sky-scraping drop from top to bottom. This ski resort has a much lower than average ratio of red and black slopes and a much higher than average percentage of blue and green trails. Snowshoe has an okay assortment of
    trails and a fine choice of great ski lifts. There's 224 acres of skiable land, and all of it makes for splendid skiing. All 14 good ski lifts at this ski area will get you up the mountain well. All in all there are 57 runs to select from; there's a pleasant collection
to gratify everyone. This is a good ski resort for young and old with scores of blue and green runs for novices. This is a more sizeable than average ski resort with a wonderful drop from top to bottom when you compare it to other ski areas in the region. The great snow here gets especially deep, 15 feet annually, and that is one of the reasons this is such a brilliant ski hill. The 1,500 feet of altitude difference is not that bad; Snowshoe makes the most of it all. The seasonal snowfall is in the region of average  
at Snowshoe. The wintertime surroundings of the West Virginia highlands and the truly delightful slopes have loads of snow folks coming here. Snowshoe has a good mixture of runs; it's out of the question to get bored here. Not too many hotels close at hand, you'll have to journey a bit to get to one, but do reserve a room before you go given that it is a very popular destination. You may be into skiing or snowboarding, or both, doesn't matter, around here, you'll discover lots of tremendous places. The best piece of info on this resort is naturally the ski trail map of Snowshoe on this web page. The highlands of West Virginia in winter are a great site for snowboarding and skiing. Getting your skiing muscles set in motion and just being on the runs for a while attract snow people from far and wide.
