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.

Snowshoe has a much lower than average share of tough trails and a much higher than average proportion of blue and green runs. The mind-blowing 15 feet of seasonal snowfall is one of the greatest characteristics of this ski resort. Snowshoe has an acceptable array

    of runs and many great different ski lifts. There's 224 acres of skiable area, and it's all covered by beautiful snow. The 1,500 feet of drop is rather reasonable; it's enough to get some decent time on the slopes between lifts. There are 14 good ski lifts here,
