We only went there because it is part of the helly hensen ski free offer. It was very busy. Lift lines were very long. It was a good resort but I am not sure if it’s worth standing 30 minutes in each lift line

This is a reverse mountain where you drive to the top and ski down. Its got a nice village with lots of restaurants and shops. Theres night skiing at Silver Creek a separate mountain close by. You can ski both Snowshoe and Silver Creek mountains with the same lift ticket.Good black diamond runs and a double black in Western Territories where theres a 1.5 mile Cupp Run. From Richmond, VA its about 5 hours. This year over 141 of natural snow has fallen and its an awesome season of pow!
