If you're like me, you are absolutely stoked that the winter season is coming soon! Generally somewhere between Thanksgiving and the first week of December is opening day, so we are sub 100 days at this point!
While we wait for the winter season, there's still PLENTY of amazing summer events going on in Snowshoe! Our mountain biking season doesn't end until October 15th. This is still 59 more days of fun in our beloved Snowshoe. And truthfully, if you don't love mountain biking, I love when the mountain is closed between October 15th and Thanksgiving. It's quiet, peaceful, and a great retreat in the mountains.
Here are the remaining events left for Snowshoe's 2023 Summer:
August 19-20 | Pickin & Pedalin We’re mixing some of our favorite things together for an unforgettable weekend on the mountain - bluegrass music, brews, and bike races. Enjoy live music from Hackensaw Boys, Independent State, and Bourbon Revival; local craft beers; and a bike race on the blue trails of Western Territory. We're also throwing in a hint of pollinating to highlight our Bee City designation at Snowshoe. Beekeepers and honey vendors from near and far will be on the mountain to explain their professions and how important it is to keep our pollinators, well pollinating!
September 2-4 | Labor Day Celebrations Take advantage of the long weekend and join us here on the mountain as we give summer the proper sendoff, complete with live music and fireworks show.
September 27 | Mercedes-Benz UCI Marathon Bike World Cup For the first time ever, Snowshoe will play host to a Cross Country Marathon Mountain Bike World Cup series stop. On this new race route between Snowshoe Mountain and the Monongahela National Forest’s Mower Tract, we’ll see if world class racers have what it takes to tackle the Appalachians.
September 28 – October 1 | Mercedes-Benz UCI Mountain Bike World Cup The eyes of the mountain biking world will once again turn to Pocahontas County this July, as we play host to another round of Mercedes-Benz UCI Mountain Bike World Cup downhill, cross country, and short track racing. This will mark Snowshoe’s 4th appearance on the World Cup circuit and we’re ready to once again show the mountain biking world why they call it Almost Heaven.
October 14-15 | WV Enduro Race Enduro racing has taken the mountain biking world by storm in recent years, providing competitors with a true test of both skill and endurance. This is your chance to square off with the region’s top enduro racers as you tackle 5 stages of Snowshoe’s legendary terrain.
October 15 | Closing Day
Final day of operations for the Snowshoe Bike Park and on-mountain activities.
