Snowshoe Mountain Resort Ski Resort Guide

It is a good mountain comparing it to surrounding mountains but is falling behind. No new lifts in what seems to be decades. Ballhooter lift is in major need of an upgrade, as just about everything ends there. Ballhooter lift breaks down frequently and needs to be much more than a 4 person. Lift staff are very nice though. Eating options are great, from cheat mountain to even a Starbucks, anyone could find something to eat here. Along with this, the resort is struggling with snow. It is doing better than regional resorts, of course. But, it had an average of 160 inches of snow a year, and only got 30 this year, and 90 last year. And snow-making has not always been able to keep up. Glades are amazing when open. Take Knot Bumper glades for example. Steep at the top, flowy in the bottom, with some jumps mixed in. And you can find powder stashes weeks after a storm in any of the glades, marked and unmarked.
