Snowshoe Mountain Resort
The largest ski area in the southeastern United States. The resort sits on the mountaintop, with about 60 runs spread across three mountain areas, plus night skiing and snow activities.
Snowshoe Mountain Resort sits at the summit, at about 1,480 meters. Hotels, restaurants and shops are clustered around Shavers Lake, and from the doorstep you can ski down to the slopes. The ski area has three sections. Snowshoe Basin suits intermediate skiers. Silver Creek has beginner runs and night skiing. Western Territory is home to Cupp Run and Shay's Revenge, famous long, steep runs in the eastern United States. Snowmaking covers much of the terrain, and the snow season usually runs from late November to March. A day ticket costs about USD 100 to 150, and it's cheaper if bought online in advance. Multi-resort passes such as the Epic Pass may also be valid (check the current season). Other activities include snowmobiling, snowshoe hiking and guided skiing.
