Two year’s of successful trips and we are going back for more. We just can’t get enough of this great east coast ski location. Lodging and Ski Times are the same with Mountain Top Hotel style rooms-- ALL DAY to ski your heart out. This year spend as much time on the slopes as you can handle with tickets that open the slopes at 8:30 a.m. until 10 p.m. Is that not a deal or what?! You will get much more slope time than our North Carolina day trips and hopefully will get to experience the thrill of fresh power snow. You will not want to miss this trip and space is limited so sign up now to reserve your spot.

Snowshoe has the most recorded annual snowfall on the east coast on a yearly basis with a vertical drop of 1,500 feet that provides excellent terrain for both beginners and experienced skiers. This trip will offer you a full 27 hours worth of pure skiing and at the same time you will be able to enjoy the sights of the northern Appalachian Mountains.

We will depart from the Student Recreation Center (TTE garage) at 10 a.m. on Thursday February 10^th to make the trek to West Virginia. It is about a 10-hour drive so come prepared to ride. You will be able to ski from 8:30 a.m. until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. We will then leave from Snowshoe Sunday morning to return to GSU by 8 p.m.

We recommend that you do not park your car on campus for this trip for the sake of security. Please try to find a ride to/from campus. We will make fast food stops on the way to and from the resort; however you are welcome to bring your own food.

Ski/Snowboard rentals are NOT included in the price to allow those who have their own equipment to not pay more. See the attached form if your need to rent equipment. The prices for each are listed on the attached form. A credit card is required at the time of rental (once at Snowshoe) if a snowboard is wanted—we’ll make the reservation to ensure it is available for you that weekend.
