Damn, snowshoe is also closing on March 13? I'm thinking of going to Roundtop or Whitetail this weekend but there's a lot of brown spots on the slopes. Roundtop is looking better than Whitetail in terms of brown spots.

What's sad is Silver Creek can make it well past March 13... open and closing dates are always subjective, so they may decide to extend it.

^same. snowshoe looks like a fun place, but for the drive i can be in vermont or even maine in the same amount of time. maybe this season coming up if funds allow.
Does anyone know if there are many good off-resort lodging options?

Well since it is in BFE WV everything is owned by the resort, but the lodge at the base is pretty reasonable and expedition house on top of the mountain are cheapest. They run a lot of specials if you call a couple weeks in advance with lift, lodging deals. My last trip in march I paid $900 for 5 days and lifts for 4 days for two ppl.... Staying in the village.

They plan on moving the powdermonkey terrain park over to skidway this upcoming season .I think this is a good move to spread some off the traffic out of the middle of the basin.

See I don't know how I feel about that. I had to look up which trail skidway is, because I don't know any of the trails by name haha. The lift that services that trail is the one that is always the least crowded when snowshoe gets packed, and Yew Pine on the other side of skidway always has some decent tree runs that my friends and I will ride a lot when there is enough snow. Moving the park over there is just going to make that area more crowded...
Given this post was almost two months ago so I dunno if you'll see it, but I highly recommend not spending the time/money to head to snowshoe coming down from Jersey. You're much better off staying in Jersey or going somewhere in PA. Vermont/NH/Maine are all much bigger than Snowshoe, and in my opinion, much better. |

Thanks for your input. We're talking about a resort in WV, not the act of snowshoeing.

I've been fortunate to only go up there midweek 90 % of the time I go there.I could understand your concearn sintexo.That place gets bashed a lot for being crowded , and taxed .It has some legit tree stashes.I just get a midweek plus pass for $349 and If I'm ever there for a weekend hang over at the creek where the pass is valid anyday.

Ah, going to school doesn't really give me that option. Sometimes if we go up on a thurs night and skip classes on friday, we can get in some good riding in the morning before the regular weekend crowd shows up. But we are mostly there fri-sun so it can get pretty shitty. I like trying to stick to western territory when there is snow for some sweet tree runs there. Although if ski patrol catches you you will probably get in trouble.
On sundays we don't even bother going all the way up to snowshoe, and just stick to silvercreek until we head back to tech.

"Although if patrol catches you you will probably get in trouble" ..Some are cooler than others and will do a lap or 2 with you back there while others will try to flex their authority.

Not sure if that is a dead branch or not on their FB page (lol) but they are claiming the first signs of fall foliage are starting to show. |
