What a view from the top. It snowed that weekend so we had the blessing of visiting when there was natural snowfall. The Village is very unique with the combination of elegant wood condos and european style condos. Quaint shops and restauraunts. Loved the landscaping of the evergreens. When I was walking down a stone pathway of snow covered evergreens with wind gust of snow it was like a dream. My family and I went snow tubing which was a blast. Tubing at the Village is an opportunity to catch some air over the bumps. Did I mentioned the view from tubing park. Spectacular. Staff is friendly, unpretentious. The "locals", deer, are NOT shy and will pose for the camera. We practically shook hooves with a heard crossing the Village street. We had a short weekend but a great moment to be together.Lord let me return next year.
My family all ski except my wife and she struggled to find a location to sit and read in the village. Starbucks is the only real option and it was packed.
I have been to snowshoe in the winter AND the sumer! It is one of my favorite places to visit. Very reasonable prices for lodging, Tickets and events. The snow park and trails are very well maintained and for whatever reason it never seems to be crowded. I spent a 4th of July on the mountain and it ws a fabulous time. rode the 4 wheelers on a tour, it was very well worth it.I am planning on making this a tradition for my family , now that I have a new GRAND BABY!
we liked that we could walk around. Everything was close together. Food was great. View was even better
We decided at the last minute to come here over Presidents weekend. The place was sold out so we ended up at a cabin in Marlington which was lovely….about a 30-40 minute drive but beautiful.Snowshoe mountain is very different than most. Everything is at the top of the hill and not at the bottom. They need to advertise that for starters. There is no lodge. No place to hang out by a fireplace. That's very disappointing. One has to fight for a table at a restaurant or go to the Shaver center cafeteria (not called that on the map) and it's small. The Village is cute but small.There are many rental places owned by different people. There is not one mountain rental. (that we could find) That makes everything very confusing. It's also almost impossible to find the place to purchase lift tickets….and then there is a long line. Maybe we need more places with signs that say Lift Tickets.The lift lines were atrocious! 30-40 minutes and it was cold. There is also no one working these lift lines and the ropes were not long enough. There was guy at the quad who was wonderful but if its a triple chair, forget it. It's extremely expensive so these negative things shocked me. We have skied in MI and CO.There is a shuttle bus but no ski rack on the outside of the bus. You take your skis inside the bus?'I would go back on a different weekend and after A LOT of research because their website is not forthcoming on navigating this mountain. Which is beautiful. It's a shame that whomever developed it did such a poor job.
Everything was built with the least expensive materials available, maintenance is truly lacking, uncleared walkways, broken doors, broken water fountains. An they charge more than the much nicer resorts.
Everything up here is closed. Nothing to do now until winter time Very disappointed. No shops open. Only one restaurant and Starbucks.
Loved the feel of the village. Wished they had outdoor apes ski entertainment. Not too crowded, easy to get from one place to the next.
If you're looking for a ski vacation where you can walk in and walk out of your building with your skis and start at the top of the mountain, the villages is the location. Expedition station has lockers to store your skis in the locker room - 10 steps from the top of the slopes. I don't know about the other buildings but all the others are within close proximity at Village Central.
Love the village. WE always stay at Mountain Lodge to be near the activity and convenience of the village.
