Winter Statistics
Thanks to a combination of lake effect storms, high elevation and other weather patterns, annual snowfall at the "Shoe" averages more than 180 inches. Mother nature treats us pretty well. Plus, we try to do our part by making snow at every opportunity.
Snowshoe Basin Area Stats
The Basin area is a fan favorite, due in part to its diversity. Experts can enjoy bomber runs like Widowmaker, Choker, and Knot Bumper. Intermediates can hit great cruiser slopes like Skipjack and Gandy Dancer, and first-timers can cruise learning terrain in the Flume Trail system. You can also get a taste of our terrain park system in the Basin area. Start at Progression Session and work your way on up to Evolution.

It has the Coca-Cola Tube Park, Kid's World, and three areas designated for freestyle terrain. There are great beginner slopes as well as expert-level trails. All around, it’s kind of a hidden gem (just don’t tell anyone we told ya).

Western Territory Area Stats
Western is so legendary it has its own history. The story goes, in the early 1900s when Cheat Mountain was being harvested of its abundant virgin Spruce, the area that’s now home to Cupp Run was known as the Western Territory. Few loggers would venture into the region because of the steep, rugged terrain. Today, with 1500' of steeps to conquer, it's home to the most advanced terrain in the region. Combine the renowned Cupp Run, designed by Olympian Jean-Claude Killy, and Shay's Revenge, with steeps of 52%, and you've got a ski experience like no other.
