When the first logging companies ventured onto Cheat Mountain, the Northern Tract was one of the first areas to be harvested because of its gentle slope and convenient access to the Shavers Fork of the Cheat River. Today, the Northern Tract is host to some of Snowshoe's best 'learning' terrain and our newest freestyle terrain area. Whether you're just getting into the sport of skiing or snowboarding or looking to fine-tune your turns, head to the Northern Tract and enjoy long, wide slopes.

The Silver Creek area offers something for everyone in your family, from the tamest to the most fearless member. With night skiing, the Coca-Cola Tubing Park, Kids World and three areas designated for freestyle terrain, Silver Creek is a surprise waiting to be discovered.

The Snowshoe Basin offer offers a little something for everyone; experts can enjoy bomber runs like Widowmaker, Choker and Knot Bumper; intermediates will enjoy great cruiser runs like Skipjack and Gandy Dancer; and first timers can cruise great learning terrain like the Flume Trail system. Whatever your preference, you'll find the perfect trail for you in the Basin area.

In the early 1900's, when Cheat Mountain was being harvested of its abundant virgin Spruce, the area that is currently home to Cupp Run was known as the Western Territory. Few loggers would venture into this region because of the steep, rough and rugged terrain. Today, the Western Territory, with 1500' of steeps to conquer, is home to the best and most advanced terrain in the region. Combine the legendary Cupp Run, designed by Olympian Jean-Claude Killy, and Shay's Revenge, with steeps of 52%, and you've got a ski experience like no other.
