WHERE MAGIC MEETS MUSCLE
It's no secret your safest bet for finding top-notch ski conditions in the mid-Atlantic and Southeast Region is to visit Snowshoe Mountain. What's the recipe for success you ask? We like to think of it as a little Cheat Mountain magic and a whole lot of Snowshoe Muscle.rich-text, responsive-table
Winter Statistics
Thanks to a combination of lake effect storms, high elevation and other weather patterns, annual snowfall at the "Shoe" averages more than 150 inches. Mother nature treats us pretty well. Plus, we try to do our part by making snow at every opportunity.
Snowshoe Basin Area Stats
The Basin area is a fan favorite, due in part to its diversity. Experts can enjoy bomber runs like Widowmaker, Choker, and Knot Bumper. Intermediates can hit great cruiser slopes like Skipjack and Gandy Dancer, and first-timers can cruise learning terrain on Skidder before heading on down the mountain. You can also get a taste of our terrain park system in the Basin area. Start at Progression Session and work your way up to Evolution.
37 trails
2 Mountaineer Terrain Parks (Progression Park and Evolution Park) featuring small to medium features
7 lifts featuring the Ballhooter & Soaring Eagle Express High-Speed Detachable Quads
100% snowmaking - a semi-automated system allowing us to make snow at marginal temperatures
800-foot vertical drop
The Boathouse features great slopeside food and drinks
Beginner terrain including Gangway, Log Slide, Whistlepunk, and Powderidge
Hoot's is a fast-casual, slopeside restaurant and bar located on South Mountain (via Soaring Eagle lift)
Silver Creek Area Stats
Employees and locals love Silver Creek partially because of the night skiing, but there are a million other reasons too. It has the Coca-Cola Tube Park and three areas designated for freestyle terrain. There are great beginner slopes as well as expert-level trails. All around, it’s kind of a hidden gem (just don’t tell anyone we told ya).
15 trails
12 trails open for night skiing
2 Mountaineer Terrain Parks (Timberjack and Mountaineer Park) featuring small to large features
6 lifts and, new for 2024/25, a rope tow in Mountaineer Park.

8 lane Coca-Cola Tubing Park
Western Territory Area Stats
Western is so legendary it has its own history. The story goes, in the early 1900s when Cheat Mountain was being harvested of its abundant virgin Spruce, the area that’s now home to Cupp Run was known as the Western Territory. Few loggers would venture into the region because of the steep, rugged terrain. Today, with 1500' of steeps to conquer, its home to the most advanced terrain in the region. Combine the renowned Cupp Run, designed by Olympian Jean-Claude Killy, and Shay's Revenge, with steeps of 52%, and you've got a ski experience like no other.

1,500 foot vertical drop, 1.5 miles of downhill
