Snowshoe

Perched atop the second-highest point in West Virginia at 4,848 feet, Snowshoe Mountain Resort combines challenging terrain with small-town charm. Spanning 11,000 acres in the Allegheny Mountains, this reverse elevation resort offers visitors the unique experience of starting their ski day from the mountaintop village. With 257 acres of skiable terrain and an average annual snowfall of 180 inches, Snowshoe provides diverse opportunities for winter sports across its three distinct areas: Snowshoe Basin, Silver Creek, and Western Territory.

Snowshoe's network of 14 lifts efficiently serves 60 trails across the mountain. The high-speed quad lifts, including Ballhooter and Soaring Eagle, minimize wait times during peak seasons. The resort's lift system can transport over 23,000 skiers per hour, ensuring maximum time on the slopes. The Western Territory's Widowmaker lift provides access to the challenging Cupp Run and Shay's Revenge, while Silver Creek's night skiing operations are served by dedicated lifts for extended skiing hours.
