About
Snowshoe is a mountain resort in West Virginia, set in the high peaks of the Allegheny Mountains in the eastern United States. It sits at over 4,800 feet, and its position in the Appalachians shapes what a visit feels like: forested ridgelines, changing seasons, and a steady focus on time outdoors.
Winter
In the colder months, the resort is known for its ski slopes and for the snow that visitors come to find. Skiing and snow sports are the main reason most people make the trip, and the surrounding mountain landscape gives the days a quiet, wooded character.
Summer and the rest of the year
Snowshoe is also a year-round destination. Warmer months bring hiking, mountain biking, and scenic chairlift rides that let you take in the Appalachian wilderness from above. It suits a slower, outdoor-focused break as much as an active one.
- Who it suits: skiers and snowboarders in winter, and hikers, cyclists and sightseers in summer.
- What to expect: mountain scenery, forest, and a resort setting built around the terrain.
- Getting the most from it: plan around the season you choose, since the activities differ widely between winter and summer.
