Snowshoe Sunday

OVERVIEW

It’s a great weekend to hit the slopes, even for only one day! No lodging fees = no excuses.

We’ll plan to leave Charlottesville by 6 am at the latest to get to Snowshoe when it opens. Fun fun fun in the snow for six or so hours, then jump back in the car to be back in Charlottesville by 6ish.
