SNOWSHOE, West Virginia -- It's hard to turn on the TV or open a newspaper without hearing news of the struggling economy and the hard times that have fallen on many families. With the cost of airfare skyrocketing, and most airlines instituting charges for every checked bag, the cost of flying a family cross-country for a ski vacation may motivate many to leave their skis and boots to collect dust in the basement this winter.
But Snowshoe Mountain Resort, located in West Virginia, provides the perfect solution. Snowshoe's central location is just a short drive from the anywhere in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, and upon arrival there will be no question why the resort has been named the #1 Ski Area in the Southeast (by the readers of Ski Magazine). Owned by famed resort developers Intrawest, Snowshoe offers snow enthusiasts a big mountain experience, including 60 slopes over 244 acres and 1,500 vertical feet, four terrain park areas for those looking to hit rails and jumps, a 5-lane tubing hill, and plenty of extras like guided snowmobile tours and indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs.
The resort is situated almost a mile high in the Alleghany Mountains, with a peak elevation of 4848', reminiscent of many New England resorts. Modeled after European ski towns, Snowshoe's Village area is located at the mountaintop and offers guests a cobblestoned plaza surrounded by retail stores and restaurants. Many of Snowshoe's 1,400 lodging units are also located in the central Village area, putting them just steps from the slopes. Like a small town in the middle of the West Virginia wilderness, the resort melds amazing views and an 11,000-acre natural playground with all the luxuries you want
