Snow Reporter Comments: Yesterday gave us a little calm before the storm… the classic “take a breath before the pow drops” kind of day. Today? Totally different story. High winds are rolling in and a Blizzard Warning is in effect from 10AM today through 10AM tomorrow, so bundle up, lock in those layers, and get ready to shred through the wild side of winter.We’re working to expand terrain as fast as we can, but please keep off anything marked closed for your safety and for our crews who are out there working to bring them online. Stay stoked, ride smart, and have fun out there!

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.
