Snowshoe Mountain is having a fantastic early ski season this year! With fresh natural snowfall, cold temperatures, and excellent grooming, the slopes are already skiing like it’s mid-winter ❄️🎿
If you’re thinking about a last-minute winter escape, this is a perfect time — and we still have limited availability at our two true ski-in/ski-out properties Eagle Rare and The Woodford 🏔️✨
🎿 Current Snow Conditions: Better Than December Usually Gets
Snowshoe kicked off the season with several inches of fresh snow, followed by consistent snowmaking temps. Early-season guests are reporting:
-
Smooth, well-groomed runs
-
Packed powder conditions
-
Increasing open terrain daily
-
Quiet slopes and short lift lines 🙌
With more snow in the forecast and cold nights ahead, the base continues to build beautifully.
