Snowy times at Snowshoe
It’s been a snowy year at Snowshoe. According to the official site, there have been 183 inches so far. That’s more than the annual average, and there’s still a month of winter left.
All 60 trails are open, and the average base is 56 inches. This is all pretty amazing, especially when one stops to consider that the traditional thing that drives humans to the slopes of Eastern resorts is snow in their hometown. And Eastern hometowns haven’t had a lot of snowfall this year.
Snowshoe began this season with an unprecedented November three-foot natural snowfall, and resort officials gleefully moved up the opening date for skiing and snowboarding to Friday, November 21.
