Snowshoe   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. This is a fuller-size than average ski hill featuring a more sky-scraping than average drop from top to bottom when compared to other mid Atlantic ski areas. There's 224 acres of skiable land, and     it's all in good condition. The 14 different ski lifts here are in wonderful condition. On this mountain you'll find 57 different ski trails; there's a tremendous variety to suit everyone. No other ski area for 448 miles has a higher altitude difference. The 1,500 feet of height difference is reasonably ok; Snowshoe makes great use of it all. Snowshoe has a good collection of trails and scores of different ski lifts. Snowshoe has a much lower than average percentage of hard ski trails and a much higher than average fraction of green and blue trails. The extraordinary 15 feet of seasonal snowfall is one of the reasons this is such a great ski area. This ski area has an average amount of snow each   season. The snow covered summits of West Virginia are a splendid site for snowboarding or skiing. The wonderful landscape of the West Virginia peaks and the exceptionally delightful ski trails are cause enough to come here to ski. Skiing and snowboarding here in West Virginia is scores of fun the whole winter. Snowshoe is a tremendous ski hill with scores of different slopes; there's no way to get bored here. A great workout and spending some quality time in the outdoors outshines anything. Hotels are offered near the base zone, but if you don’t have reservations, you may perhaps end up sleeping in your automobile. Snowshoe is a family friendly ski hill with lots of blue and green slopes for learners. Some folks prefer skiing and some snowboarding, either way, there are lots of great spots for that close by.          Trailmap Bigger Trailmap Pictures of Snowshoe ski area Bigger Picture Stats Detailed Stats Contact Info Phone, Email, Address, GPS coordinates Weather Local weather forecast These outdoors activities are available near Snowshoe ski area.   Ski Areas Near Snowshoe ski area: The Homestead, Virginia , 26 miles away    700 foot drop, 5 lifts, 9 runs    34% Expert & Adv.    33% Intermediate    33% Beginner Canaan Valley, West Virginia , 50 miles away    850 foot drop, 4 lifts, 34 runs    30% Expert & Adv.    40% Intermediate    30% Beginner Timberline, West Virginia , 53 miles away    1000 foot drop, 4 lifts, 37 runs    32% Expert & Adv.    34% Intermediate    34% Beginner Wisp, Maryland , 75 miles away    700 foot drop, 12 lifts, 32 runs    31% Expert & Adv.    28% Intermediate    41% Beginner Wintergreen, Virginia , 77 miles away    1003 foot drop, 5 lifts, 20 runs    38% Expert & Adv.    42% Intermediate    20% Beginner Massanutten, Virginia , 85 miles away    1110 foot drop, 8 lifts, 14 runs    30% Expert & Adv.    35% Intermediate    35% Beginner Bryce Resort, Virginia , 87 miles away    500 foot drop, 5 lifts, 8 runs    33% Expert & Adv.    33% Intermediate    34% Beginner Winterplace, West Virginia , 90 miles away    603 foot drop, 9 lifts, 27 runs    15% Expert & Adv.    44% Intermediate    41% Beginner Seven Springs, Pennsylvania , 99 miles away    754 foot drop, 15 lifts, 31 runs    25% Expert & Adv.    40% Intermediate    35% Beginner   Whitewater Near Snowshoe ski area: Cheat River - Shavers Fork, Pocahontas / Randolph County , 3 miles away, Class I-II - 17.4 miles long (Spruce to US Route 250) Greenbrier River, Pocahontas County , 5 miles away, Class I-II - 8.7 miles long (Clover Lick to Laurel Run) Greenbrier River, Pocahontas County , 5 miles away, Class I-II - 10 miles long (Cass to Clover Lick)   Trails Near Snowshoe ski area: Peters Mountain Trail, Pocahontas , 7 miles away Scarlet Oak Trail, Pocahontas , 7 miles away Hill Top Trail, Pocahontas , 7 miles away   National Parks Near Snowshoe ski area: Booker T Washington National Monument, Hardy - VA , 70 miles away   Golf Courses Near Snowshoe ski area: Raven Golf Club at Snowshoe, Snowshoe , 3 miles away
