Avdave Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If you love to ski, snowboard or just watch the snow fall, this is the place to go. At 4848' in elevation they get smoked with snow all winter long. Clouds lifted off the summit towards the end of the day Climbing the mountain to the summit and village Along the summit road at snowshoe, wv Snowshoe Village in clouds and light snow The Mountain Lodge at the village at the summit Where we stayed in the Village, Alleghany springs Lodge Heated outdoor pool and jacuzzi here, it was 14 degrees when I took this photo Walkway to the Village at snowshoe from our lodge Drifting snow at the village The village at Snowshoe The village at Snowshoe Village at snowshoe Starbucks at the Village at snowshoe The Village at snowshoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quakertown needs snow Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 nice dave. when was this? did you ski? i've never skied there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 nice dave. when was this? did you ski? i've never skied there. Thanks again Andy. This was Dec 22-24 2012 when we were there. Was part of my Christmas gift from my wife. it was awesome up there. Snowshow and Silver Creek know what they are doing. They have a nice spread up there with the different style of lodging and then on the ground level it is all restaurants and retail shops. I loved it. It took us about 5 hrs to get there but so worth it. I do ski but havent in a long time and have been having knee issues lately so been holding off on the skiing. but I used to go a lot, loved skiing, especially night skiing which they dont have to Snowshoe but the shuttle bus takes you to Silver Creek which is a part of snowshoe but 5 mins away. You love skiing for the location it is the closest you will get to northern new england or out west. You would like it probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks East Coast NPZ. They recorded a foot of snow the day before I got there from all up slope LES. A lot of was blown around at the summit but that is what they said.

Parsley Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thanks Parsley. It was a neat place up there. How was the drive getting out there (I'm guessing from I-81)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 How was the drive getting out there (I'm guessing from I-81)? Yeah took 81 to Rt 55/48 west. You can see some of the pics on the drive in my other thread on here in the photography forum. It took about 5 hours for us but we went to longer way to see how the new Corridor H highway was moving along. Otherwise it is about a 4 hour drive or so. Nice drive though, very scenic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Been there twice this year. Son has been at least 5 times that I can think of. About an hour and 45 from house to get there. Yeah, if ANYBODY in MA gets snow, they usually are it (well and up at Canaan/Timberline). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks so scenic and beautiful for the holidays. My pleasure Parsley. If you have questions send me a PM. Even if you don't ski they have snow tubing at Silver Creek next door which is fun. But Snowshoe Village is the main place to be. Retail and restauarants are reasonably prices too. I will add more photos tonight when I get home of more of the resort.
