Snowshoe, when you first hear the name, instinctually everyone's thoughts immediately settle on winter sports. While it's true that in 1974 Snowshoe Mountain nestled its roots in West Virginia's Cheat Mountain range as a small ski town, we've grown into quite the outdoor adventure mecca. With 11,000 acres of explorable terrain, a legendary bike park, three unique ski areas, and activities like paddle boarding, RZR tours, snowmobiling, snowtubing, music festivals, and international competitive events; the options are endless for anyone willing to embrace our Forever Wild lifestyle. Here on the mountain, we believe to provide the best guest experience you must live that experience yourself...so we work hard, play harder, and get paid doing what we love!

Snowshoe is an equal opportunity employer.
