Ski Season: what people ask
When is Ski Season?

Weekends and school holiday weeks fill first and carry two or three night minimums, with slopeside condos the first to go. Marlinton, Elkins, Davis, Thomas and Beckley take the overflow, though the drive to the lifts is 30 to 60 minutes.
Where do people stay when Snowshoe Mountain Resort sells out?
Marlinton, Elkins, Davis and Thomas are the places travelers most often end up staying, rather than simply the nearest points on a map.
Where should I stay for Ski Season?
Snowshoe Mountain Resort is where the event takes place, so it is the first place to look, and Marlinton, Elkins and Davis are where visitors generally end up once it is fully booked. Weekends and school holiday weeks fill first and carry two or three night minimums, with slopeside condos the first to go.
How much does lodging cost during Ski Season?
Rates are typically higher than they are a week or two before or after the event, and minimum stays are common. Booking early is what saves money here rather than waiting for a late deal, because there is rarely any late availability to discount.
