Looking on setting up a Vacation with my family for 5 days on SnowShoe, i would like to stay close to the mountain, when i can just pedal my bike to the Lift/shuttle... i see there are tons of Hotels @ Snowshoe, since we're going with Children, wife wants a pool, close to everything etc...

which hotel are the best? or Condo's?

Please help as soon as you can i wanna reserve today.

Spruce Realty is at the bottom of the mountain. Their website has their rental units listed with availability and cost.

Here is their site:

and here is their rental searches:

agree with sk6. use that place to book. If you are bringing your family I would highly recommend Treetop #8. Right next to the pool and village. A couple minute walk will put your wife any where she wants to go.

Thats the one I'm renting for the first race! I love that place.

I've got a place at snowshoe, but it's probably too small for a family unless you only had like 1 kid. But check it out anyway:

You can have 5 nights for $435 total.

I do have to say oldschoolbiker's place is REAL nice...I've stayed there for the first race last year with my wife and a guest.

we have 2 kids and one of they are 9 and 4, so they can share a bed...

how far of a walk is it to the lifts for bike riding, i would rather hit the Downhill section instead of the Freeride Section.

also, where can i store my bike, i plan on going up there with my bike....

Let me know please.

thanks

The freeride section is an absolute blast, don't discount it.......From that room, its about a 5 minute ride, if that, to the western side.....

I would second the Spruce Realty recommendation. Treetop is a great location right near the pool and the village with a full kitchen and proper living room. Also with Spruce if you rent for 3 nights you get the 4th night for free.

Oldskool's condo is really nice but for a week with two kids I'd get something a bit bigger with a full kitchen.

 

[davidt]

What are the riding days?

if i go there on a Thursday, can i ride on a Friday and Saturday? or is it just weekends only?

 

[SIDWV]

you will be happy antwhere near the village. Kids and wife will dig the splitrock pool. they will be more than busy so you can ride. treetops, rimfire,landsend but if you can fit oldschls condo looks like a great pad on the website.

The whistlepunk condos are directly across from the Western Territory lift (the DH trails) and about a 5 minute walk to the village. If biking is your purpose, that's the place to stay. You can park right at the condo and take your bikes up. Not sure what you do with bikes in the village.

The village is really nice if you don't want the kids to have to walk to the pool.

Sorry for the late reply. Snowshoe just built a bike storage area for bikes attached to the building. They sent me some photos of it while it was under construction. I haven't seen it yet, but based on the photos it looks like a nice storage area.

As far as getting to the trails, it's like a 2 minute ride to the DH trails, and like 30 seconds to the Freeride trails. It's really close.

Is the western lift open any time around the July 4th week?

 

[FatOld&Bald!]

From the way SS site reads the Wersten lift will not be open on the 4th of July, only on Fri, Sat and Sun.

Any body make the GNCC race?
