Snowshoe Season Passes for $249!!
Hey folks, Last year was a HUGE success with the Snowshoe pass. We were up at the mountain most every weekend with most trips costing around $20-30 bucks for food and lodging for the whole weekend. It was cheaper for me to stay and ride a weekend in Snowshoe, WVa than it was to live and eat in Charlottesville. Plus …

Half Day Trip to Wintergreen
Come celebrate Valentine’s Day on the slopes! Rumor has it Wintergreen will be blowing pink snow, matching up singles in the lift lines, and changing all their slope ratings from diamonds to hearts.
