Snow Reporter Comments: Monday on the mountain is bringing the chill, so zip it up, pull the neck gaiters and balaclavas high, then get after it. Cold temps and solid conditions - it’s a good day to be on snow! Layer up, ride smart, and watch for snowmaking on select runs. Please respect all trail closures and stick to riding open terrain.SAFETY NOTE: We are under an Extreme Cold Warning today with wind chills expected to dip below 0. Please make sure to dress in layers, leave no skin exposed, and take plenty of hot cocoa breaks to warm up.
Snowshoe Mountain sits atop the Allegheny Mountains in West Virginia, offering a high-elevation ski experience that’s rare in the Southeast. With 257 acres of skiable terrain, 61 trails, and 14 lifts, it’s the largest winter resort in the region. The summit reaches 4,848 feet, and with an average annual snowfall of 111 inches plus full snowmaking coverage, conditions stay reliable throughout the season.Trail difficulty is well-balanced: 40% beginner, 33% intermediate, 25% advanced, and 2% expert. Families appreciate the resort’s layout, with easy access to learning areas, 8 tubing lanes, and a dedicated kids’ ski school. Snowshoe also offers four terrain parks, making it a favorite for freestyle riders. The vertical drop of 1,500 feet and longest run of 1.5 miles provide plenty of variety without overwhelming newer skiers.What makes Snowshoe stand out is its mountaintop village. Unlike most resorts, the base area is at the summit, giving you instant access to the slopes and panoramic views. Whether you're chasing powder, cruising groomers, or relaxing fireside after a day on the mountain, Snowshoe delivers a full alpine experience with Appalachian charm.
