Directions to Snowshoe
What's the best way to get to Snowshoe? That depends on where you're coming from, who you ask, and your road-trippin' style. There are several possible routes from every direction, so you can choose between scenic back roads, midway historic points of interest, or just getting here and getting on with the fun. The main thing to remember is that our rugged location can make GPS and smartphone maps less reliable than you might be accustomed to and cell service is limited, so you'll want to do some pre-road-trip planning and trust those turn-by-turn instructions. Here are a some of the routes we prefer to travel (but we still think you should embrace your inner old-schooler and grab a paper map or road atlas):

Travel Advisory
Please do not try to access the Highland Scenic Highway (Route 150) and Williams River Road (Route 86) as a shortcut to Snowshoe Mountain. These roads are not maintained in the winter and therefore they are not passable, even with 4WD.
Using GPS / Navigation Systems:
If you must use a GPS, we suggest following the links for the longitude and latitude coordinates, rather than using a street address and always cross-referencing your GPS instructions with an accurate map. Here are some of the coordinates for popular locations on the mountain:
Additionally, please be aware there is limited cell phone service in many areas surrounding the resort. AT&T has the most reliable service, but it is still spotty.
