Wow what a big resort with lots to do and places to stay can’t wait to return! We went snow tubing for a quick visit had a blast!
I’d buy your tickets in advance it was a full crowd for a 1pm snow tubing and also paid to park closer to the building!
Snowshoe resort consists of two ski/snowboard areas: Snowshoe proper and Silver Creek. A shuttle runs between the two every hour. Snowshoe shuts down at 4:30 pm, but ski lifts in Silver Creek operate until 9 pm, except for the Flying Eagle. I recommend staying at Silver Creek and taking a shuttle to Snowshoe. The trails serviced by the Flying Eagle are black diamonds, and they are the best of all. Deer come to Ski Patrol hut to eat bread tossed by staff. (Of note, it is not a good habit to feed wildlife). The best time to ski and ride is during workdays before 4 pm. After then, crowds from Snowshoe arrive for the night skiing. For rentals and tickets, go to the Silver Creek Lodge. For those inspired by the Olympics: there are two good terrain parks. The Ski Patrol practises regularly, and they would evacuate you promptly if you happen to face-plant on the rail.
The Silver Creek Lodge is within a very short (1-2 min) walking distance from the nearest ski hill. The accommodations are adequate and cheaper than at the Snowshoe proper. The lodge has indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, two hot tubs, a small fitness room, a few shops, a sports bar and the Bear Den. The latter offers drinks and entertainment - the arcades, a pool table, etc.
There are NO grocery stores at Silver Creek, and the shops inside the lodge are insanely expensive. If you stay for longer than a day, bring your own supplies, as every unit has a kitchenette. I saw people who brought crock-pots and air fryers!
The rentals, lift tickets, and lockers are on the first floor - follow the signs from the main lobby.
We had a great time at Silver Creek and Snowshoe. The accommodations are adequate, if a little dated, but the staff is friendly and everything is convenient, overall I would recommend. I much preferred the crowd and wait at Silver Creek, there are more interesting ski runs and food options in the Village, but considering we cooked most of our food and were only in our room to sleep, it was worth taking the shuttle.
A wonderful time at SilverCreek! The condo had everything we needed for a enjoyable stay. Looking forward to our next visit.
Skiing at Snowshoe we decided to visit Silver Creek at night for snow tubing. Really cool, great for small kids. Lines were too long.
Rooms are excellent. Beds were very comfortable. Not a good experience for parking. There in June for GNCC event. Parking lot filled with campers and little to no parking for lodge customers.
Wonderful place. Its not crowded. Its the best south of NE and there is nothing as good south of it. Always a good time.
If you are the parent of a child with challenges or an adult who has endured an accident, the adaptive program here is top notch.
If you want cold, excellent, local beer and great food...skip this place and go to Old Spruce Brewery.
Silver creek was delightful. The slopes were soft and powdery. The staff at the hotel were friendly, but I wasn't to ecstatic about the 5p check-in. Nonetheless, I will return with more friends next time.
Has been my absolute favorite place to stay when visiting snowshoe! Best tubing and an amazing vibe.
This was my first visit to silvercreek ended up with a bit of lightening which delayed us by about an hour.
The slopes are a good verity, cubb run it pretty good cause its smooth however there are some dead spots so teaching a friend was a little diffacult with them having to take a foot off the board.
The only true downfall to this slope is the lifts, they are super super slow like take a nap slow lol definately makes you miss the main section and the fast lifts.
The staff was great and I appreciate there quick moving to get the trail ready for night and keeping the lifts going to the last munite.
Thank you,
