Snow Reporter Comments: Sunday Funday is rolling in with some fresh snow for us! We've picked up a couple inches of the ultra light and fluffy brand with more expected through the day. Closed terrain is closed for a reason. Please stick to trails clearly designated as open here on the snow report. Snowmaking may be in progress on some open terrain today. Skip Jack is now open on natural snow. It is ungroomed. Thin cover and unmarked obstacles may be present.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.
