On a remote mountain in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, sits the community of Snowshoe. As the name suggests, it’s a wintery town. The high elevation leads to the winter season lasting approximately 130 days each year. Snowshoe is a ski resort community, but there is so much to do besides skiing.
Unlike most ski mountain villages, The Village at Snowshoe is at the top of the mountain, rather than the bottom.
