I stayed for a weekend with my family at Summit. You need to climb steps in order to get to the village. The price of food is quite high and they did not have chili or any other soup at "Connection" :(
Also there were more than usual reckless snowborders and skiers.

I love Snowshoe but it's way too expensive. Went to Canaan Valley last year and the skiing was fantastic, the food was great, and it costs 1/3 of what we paid at snowshoe. Lift tickets were $18 compared to $72 at Snowshoe. If you want to night ski or just check out new territory you can drive 15 minutes down the road and ski at Timberline. They had a deal for $49/ night and included your lift ticket. They had a great party for the Superbowl and even though the Steelers lost we had a good time.

I have been going to Snowshoe for over 10 years with my family--both children learned to ski there. Always, ALWAYS stay at Powderidge. It's great for families because it is ski in ski out. It is cozy and away from the hastle of village...and drunk village idiots! We've had lots of great memories there at Snowshoe!

Took family last Feb 2010 and stayed at Rimfire Village, they had so much snow we had to stay 2 extra days because we could not get out. Put the 3 teens in private lessons (one instructor) and they loved it, they had been skiing on own for years but never had individual lessons. I always had to ski by myself or was always waiting for them to catch up. They are now not afraid to go to western region and are all three up at 8am so we can be 1st on slopes at 9 for fresh powder. Took my oldest (16 yr old ) to Portillo Chili this July 2011 and we are able to go off pista because of private lessons he had at Snowshoe. I could not hold him back. Plan to return to Snowshoe in early Jan and again in Feb. I love it cause now I have to try to keep up with them. LOL

Avoid the Ball Hooter lift from about 11am until 3pm on weekends and holidays. It is the only lift that drops you off in the village and everyone wants to be on it for lunch. Best bet: a few early afternoon runs at the Western Territory, then head over to a totally uncrowded Silver Creek for the rest of the afternoon.

Had a great first visit with our Florida church group of 19. Stayed at Logger's Run 15(ski in/ski out). Did not disappoint. It was exactly as it looked on the website. Very nice. If you are with varied skiers, and want a mountain in the mid-Atlantic area, this is a great mountain. Loved the Western Slope. Long trails, well groomed, and nobody there (Mid March). All of the diamonds were good for intermediate or advanced skiers/boarders. The diamonds were not very difficult, but were perfect for me. I went with some beginners, and I thought their bunny slope near the lift was poorly planned. It was kind of steep then went very narrow to catch the lift. The other part of the bunny slope for very beginners was as you would expect. Had a great time, and we are already talking about our next trip there. Thanks, Liftopia! We saved money using your website.

This is our 18th year skiing at Snowshoe and we love it! There are no better places to ski in NC where we are from, or Tenn. or Virginia. It's a wonderful mountain for all levels. And Liftopia is the place for lift tickets! :)

Great family place for all abilities. We had a great time They have plenty of easy and intermediate trails and some more difficult ones for those that want a little bit more of a challenge. They do need a lodge that you can go and sit at and bring your own food. We didn't stay on their property and had to travel 15-20 min to get to the mountain so a place to sit and relax without having to buy lunch every day would be nice!

We have been 3 times in the past 16 months and we love it. We have 4 young kids (4 - 9) that have all learned to ski in classes, as did I. This last trip we were able to enjoy the greens together. We go during non-peak times and there is never a wait, everything open, a fantastic time!! Going back in a couple weeks for trip #4.

Its all good. Catwalk is pretty straight for everyone. The parks are either really small, or really big.
Not much in between.

Have been coming with my family for years. March 7 & 8, no crowds, lots of fun.
Tip: Very beginning skiers may prefer Silver Creek due to the wider beginner trails.
A fellow skier on the lift said he thought the trails were too narrow (we were on Ball Hooter lift), but if you're an advanced skier, head to Western Teritory where the slopes are again wider and longer.

Great place to take kids. Book lodging through vrbo and save a lot of money.

What a great trip this was. Slopes were empty, only one lift closed. Night skiing was amazing. If you there om Monday night check out EMBER at the Top Of The World. Fun place to hang. My 4th time at Snowshoe and will be back again with out a doubt!!!

Conditions were excellent first thing in the morning (early March). In the afternoon, there was a period of slushiness and more crowded slopes. But around 2:30, when the shadows grew long, the slush got more solid and crowds dissipated. Good slopes for beginners, especially Silver Creek. More advanced, good for a day or two.
