About Snowshoe Mountain
Snowshoe Mountain is the best ski resort in the American Southeast — a mountaintop village at 1,482m in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia that delivers a surprisingly complete ski holiday experience for a region not typically associated with winter sports. The resort's 60km of terrain across 14 lifts includes everything from gentle beginner slopes on the Ballhooter side to challenging steeps on the Western Territory, all serviced by extensive snowmaking that covers virtually 100% of the skiable terrain — a necessity given the region's variable natural snowfall. Snowshoe's crowning feature is its slopeside village, modeled after Alpine pedestrian villages, with restaurants, shops, and accommodation all at summit level, meaning you ski down from your door rather than riding up from a base. The resort is part of the Epic Pass, making it an accessible option for East Coast pass holders. For US families on the Eastern Seaboard who want a genuine ski village experience without the cost and travel time of a Rocky Mountain trip, Snowshoe provides the closest thing to an Alpine resort atmosphere south of New England and east of the Mississippi.
