SNOWSHOE, West Virginia -- After receiving 9.5" of natural snow at the end of October, Snowshoe began complimenting Mother Nature's work in a big way this weekend with snowmaking efforts across the mountain. After a brief warming trend last week, temperatures plummeted on Saturday, allowing snow guns to come to life across the Snowshoe Basin and Silver Creek areas. Sunday's freezing temperatures allowed the guns to pump out piles of the white stuff throughout the day and into the beginning of the work week.
Snowshoe was one of the first resorts to turn on its region's-best snowmaking equipment this season, beginning efforts on October 27th, one of the earliest start dates for snowmaking in the Southeast over the past several years. That early start was followed the next day with an early-season winter storm that blanketed the Pocahontas County resort in nearly a foot of natural snow. With Opening Day planned for November 26, Snowshoe plans to continue making snow whenever weather conditions allow. Long-term forecasts show above-freezing temperatures for the middle of the week, followed by some more ideal snowmaking conditions beginning Saturday and continuing through at least mid-week next week.
As a drive-to destination, Snowshoe's 60 slopes and 244 acres of skiable terrain are the perfect destination for skiers and riders looking for a big mountain experience without the hassles and high-costs of airline travel. With skyrocketing tickets prices, checked baggage fees and the prospect of delays and cancellations, why not skip the airport and go straight from your car to your vacation at Snowshoe?! With budget-conscious travelers in mind, last week the resort announced three Smart Ski Escape Packages, offering winter enthusiasts great deals including a relaxed 72-hour cancellation policy and free lift tickets for juniors. Snowshoe annually receives 180 inches of natural snow, providing the best conditions in the region, and the most time to enjoy them
