Experienced snow tubing and snowboarding for the first time during my visit to Snowshoe Mountain. I…read moredidn't stay on the actual resort, we had got an air bnb about 20 mins away. While on the resort though, I did like how the lodging looked. If I were to go back I definitely would instead just go ahead and stay on the mountain resort because driving through the woods / mountain to get to and from the resort to the air bnb was not fun at all; especially at night! Snow tubing: we went snow tubing during the night time. There weren't too many other people there during this time, so the line to keep tubing over and over wasn't much of a wait at all. I give the experience a 10/10 overall. It was fun and different. Snowboarding: when we first got into all our gear and equipment, we were just told to go outside. We were all under the impression that we would receive a tutorial or instructional presentation about first time snowboarding, but that did NOT happen. Had entirely no clue there was even a "practice" area until after I slipped and fell on the ice and my snowboard went flying down the mountain and into the woods. I went and got help from the emergency team who then informed us that there was a practice area to go to first. I ended up staying in that practice area the whole time and completely wasted my money on having a ski lift ticket. I thought a practice area would've been at the bottom of the mountain where we'd start at, so the ski lift ticket would be needed once you're comfortable and can go ski/snowboard from the very top but no, u start at (like get on the actual slope at) and the practice area are both mid - mountain. Overall the experience was a 7/10. It's possible I'll give Snowshoe another try in the future now that I've experienced what it's like. My overall rate of experience : 7/10

It is definitely an amazing place to take your family. The green and blue slopes are within a short walk and so is the village. You can ski into the back door a short distance. If you are better at the slopes, you can ski right out that door down a black diamond. When you are done skiing, the mud room comes convenient with air driers for your boots and gloves. You have plenty of hooks to hang your ski gear and shelves to store snowboards and skiis. The beds are very comfortable and there owners provide games and a dvd's to watch to relax after a day on the slopes. It is a beautiful set up and amazing place to stay. I highly recommend this place. There is a porch to hang out on and two bathrooms, one for the master and one for the other two bedrooms to use. The master bathroom has a jetted tub and the other bathroom has a very nice walk in shower. This is truly an amazing place to stay and well worth the money! Take your family and enjoy the best time of your life.

What a nostalgic visit. We were here 30 years ago and it looks the same. Updates have kept the…read moreretro feel. It's still a one stop place. You park right next to your hotel. You ski right out your door. You swim in an indoor outdoor pool. And if your thirsty, there is a bar/restaurant on the slopes and inside the resort. All the comforts away from home. Each Individual unit is owned and decorated by its owner. So some are going to be more updated than others. We stayed in 5313 and had a fabulous time. This is not an upscale resort. But it is very homey. If you are a long time silver creek lover, you will love that everything has stayed the same. Why the resort gets 3 stars. The restaurant is closed, but you can grab a quick bite in the lounge. The pool is open for 3 different sessions in the evening and you are allowed to go one time and must register. However it is Closed on Tuesday and Wednesday's. Actually most everything at Silver Creek is CLOSED on Tuesday and Wednesdays. What a let down!! . We are at the end of the season, so whatever snow ice they have,, thats all. They stopped making snow in February. Still we look forward to coming back and not waiting another 30 years

What a dump!!! While close to the slopes, I found myself asking if the whole place was either a…read morejoke or some kInd of bizarre mob money laundering scheme. The floors were littered with refuse and stains. Everything had the dingy look of a mid-seventies relic. This appeared to be a place where parents with large families check in to allow their children to roam far and wide - we heard them all late into the night! In the lobby were two stores that appeared to offer second hand items and an assortment of odds and ends more akin to a yard sale that a resort. No breakfast available of any sort. No place to get coffee. When asked for options, I was referred to the re-purposed school bus that served as a shuttle to the main facility every thirty minutes.

We were looking for a smaller place for a first time skier that wouldn't need many harder trails. We booked everything for the weekend online. The process was easy and made it easy and quick to get tickets and rentals that we already paid for. I think they do charge an additional fee if you didn't prepay. The first night we arrived we did the snow tubing. It was a fun time. You need to get a tube at the bottom of the hill. Then there is a belt you stand on that will bring you to the top. You pay for and hour and a half that seems like a long time but it went quick because it was fun. We did a snowboarding lesson in the am and then spent some time skiing. We rented a board and changed to skis and it was a $15 fee to change. There is a cafeteria type area to eat. I did read another review that said people just dump their bags in chairs to save them. So that is what we did. We saved half a table for us then shared the other half. When lunch time came the tables filled up fast. Most kids would just sit in the floor if they needed. For a small mountain it was a great time. They had everything you need. We stayed at Chalet resort that was a 3 minute drive.

The only reason for the 4/5 is the resort allows hikers to take the ski lift which slows down the lift. Also, we rented bikes and safety gear. The Trek model bike rental was amazing. We were able to try a Trek Session and Trek Slash, both were fairly new models and in well condition. However, the Session had some excessive wearing on the tire outer tread, appeared cracked. We were so focused on having fun that we didn't bring it back to address that. I will say the more shocking thing was the safety gear which seemed extremely worn. Granted we got there late the only upper chest gear they had was shredded (arm sleeves had so many holes it looked the last person had a bear attack in it :-D ). Nonetheless, we had a lot of fun.

Top of the World Condos are one of the best located lodging venues at Snowshoe Mountain, WV. It is…read moreone building with about 100 one-bedroom units, and although the building went up in the early '80s, the units - all independently and individually owned - have undergone recent renovations. The building itself was renovated in 2007 and it cheered up its facade, added new siding and paint, and an overall face lift. As a result, it is hard to rate the individual units as a whole. Some are absolutely impeccable, yet some are 1980 originals with the old cheap paneling. The thing about the units. First, one enters through a central hallway, and the main bedroom's windows do not face the outside, but face the inner hallway. Down a corridor, the unit opens up into a great room/dining/kitchen that in almost all cases, features a sofa bed. Some of the units have opened up the kitchen to create a real great room with modernized appliances. The great room has two windows to either the East, facing the Widowmaker slope, or the Western views that are spectacular. The location of Top of the World is amazing. It has the new Soaring Eagle high-speed quad literally outside the Eastern wall, so it's a great place to call home for a ski vacation. Top of the World is one of the check-in venues at Snowshoe, and it also provides a fully-stocked ski shop and a restaurant bar, which frequently changes names, given the high mortality rates of dining establishments at ski resorts. Another great thing about Top of the World is its location next to the new Soaring Eagle Lodge, which features Ember restaurant, the top restaurant within a 200-mile radius. If you have a small family or a small group, it is a relatively inexpensive, good and VERY centrally located place to stay.

This place gets 2 stars instead of one because of the location and friendly staff. The room I got…read moreshould be minus 2 stars. I think it was built in 1983 and it hasn't been touched since! Horrible paneling, hideous green carpet, no remote for the LR tv, no paper towels just ONE old linen napkin. Good thing nobody was staying with me. The shower/tub was a little springy and I was afraid that if i stayed in too long I may end up in the ski shop downstairs. I enjoyed the paper thin walls so I could hear the condo next door being renovated. The "fully" stocked kitchen had no glasses bigger than a juice glass. Everything else in the place was very random, like it had been decorated from the Salvation Army. There was a decent bar downstairs and being located right on the slopes were about the only positives for this place. Oh did I mention with tax and other fees I paid $200 for ONE night. Anywhere else this would be a $35 room full of truckers and hookers. Not that I would know anything about those places. Snowshoe Mtn is a great place to ski, just avoid Top of the World condos.

Had one day of skiing at Timberline during my WV ski trip. Getting there was fairly easy from…read moreElkins where I was staying. Parking was free, easy and convenient; I was a short walk to the lodge and the main lift. Picking up the lift ticket I had purchased online was also easy, there was a kiosk that issued the electronic card that worked from my coat pocket. Buying online and as a senior the one day lift ticket was a very reasonable $65. The mountain itself is easy to navigate; there is one main lift, a high speed detachable 6 pack that runs up the center of the mountain with all of the runs coming off of the lift. The lift has scanners that read the lift ticket and there are 2 sets of gates; this did seem to confuse some of the people in the lift line; I did see quite a bit of difficulty with people getting on and off the lift. The runs off the top of the mountain are a nice mix, 2 double blacks, 2 blacks, 3 blues and a long beginner green run. All of the runs give you 1000 feet of vertical; more then enough to give you a nice run, and plenty of challenge. Everything except for 1 double black run was groomed with good snow coverage. The runs have a nice variety, more than enough to make for a fun and invigorating day of skiing for intermediate and advanced skiers. A couple of notes, the bathrooms are conveniently located in the lodge without having to go to another level from the back of the lodge. If coming down the skiers right of the mountain you want to keep up some speed to make it all the way to the lift. Having 1 lift that is the only way to most of the mountain means that when there are issues with the lift stopped the lift line can get a bit longer then desired, but they managed to keep things moving for most of the day. Timberline is a very nice affordable option to ski or board in WV. Very nice for a day or two, although there is probably not much challenge for expert skiers. The 1000 feet of vertical and high speed lift make the mountain ski like a larger resort. Easy to navigate and affordable it is well worth considering for part of your ski trip in the area.

I was disappointed with my stay at Canaan Valley Resort. As someone with disabilities, I found the…read moreproperty to be less accessible than expected, making it difficult to fully enjoy the experience. One of the most frustrating moments was at dinner. Our tour group was told we could not sit by the windows and enjoy the view because we were "with a tour and not paying customers." Considering many of us paid nearly $2,000 for this trip, that was insulting. We were also not allowed to order from the regular menu and pay ourselves if we wanted something else. Unfortunately, the meal provided left me sick for going on 2 days. The resort itself also had several maintenance and convenience issues. The ice machine on our floor was broken, the snack machine and soda machine was nearly empty, and the shower had VERY poor water pressure. The gift shop closed before 7 p.m., making it impossible to purchase basic necessities when needed. There was also very little to do in the evenings. The pool closes at 8 p.m., and by 7 p.m. most activities and amenities seemed to be shut down, leaving guests with few options other than returning to their rooms to watch TV. Overall, the resort did not meet my expectations, particularly regarding accessibility, guest experience, and customer service.

Tube Park Review…read more This review is specific to the Tube Park. Highly recommend getting tickets ahead of time online. All sessions for the day were sold out when we visited. The lodge area for the tube park is very small, so don't expect to be able to change clothing quickly inside due to how busy it is. There's a fire place inside and a huge fire pit outside. Very small concession inside with about 8-10 small snack items to choose from. The staff here are top notch - very kind to each other and talkative to visitors. 10 minutes before the session starts, the group gets a safety briefing and reviews the rules. There's a nurse/medic on site. This is fun for the whole family. 1200 feet long and very fast. Be sure to read the requirements online for kids. Extra safety precautions are taken onsite for young kids.
