About this city
Also known as: Island in the Sky
Snowshoe is a premier, high-altitude mountain resort community perched at an elevation of 4,848 feet on Cheat Mountain in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. Developed in the 1970s as a world-class alpine destination, it features a unique inverted design where the resort village and lodging sit directly on top of the mountain summit. Snowshoe is celebrated across the mid-Atlantic as a massive winter winter-sports playground that transitions into an elite international mountain biking and outdoor adventure park in summer.
