Snowshoe ski area, West Virginia - Skiing and Snowboarding

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
