Spend Thanksgiving at Snowshoe Mountain This Year

Every year for Thanksgiving, many people prefer to stay home and have all the family over. But there are many people who like to be adventurous and visit new places for the holiday. This year make a new tradition with your family and come stay in one of our Ski In / Ski Out vacation rentals for Thanksgiving. Snowshoe Mountain has already seen it’s first snowfall of the year and we even had snow over the weekend. Let’s see why you must visit this Thanksgiving at Snowshoe Mountain.

Quality Time with Family

Spend Thanksgiving at Snowshoe Mountain This Year

The start of Thanksgiving Day for many families will begin with the adults and children, gathering in front of the television watching The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. As the aroma of the turkey cooking in the oven or the preparation begins in the kitchen. Spend part of the day spending time with your loved ones by playing board games or a game of Uno. Then have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day meal sitting in the dining room of your rental and then have a nice quiet evening by the fire. Spending the day with your family means you get all the quality time in the world with them. Sometimes we all like to be too busy to sit down and not do a thing once in a while. Make this holiday the best one you’ve had in a long time.

The View

When you stay in one of our Ski In / Ski Out vacation rentals, you will not only have the beautiful view of the mountains, but you may have a view of the snow. Snowshoe Mountain is beautiful to look at during the early morning hours, as the sun is coming up over the ridge and peeping through the clouds. When you think about it, it still feels like heaven when you visit the area. Take family pictures of the kids playing in the snow or just use the mountains as a backdrop for your Christmas cards this year.

Skiing & Snowboarding

We mentioned before that it has already snowed of the season and that only means it is the start of the season soon. Snowshoe Mountain will open up their ski season on November 21st this year! How exciting is that? So, while you are on your vacation, you can always hit the slopes for an early start to the beginning of the ski season. You can snowboard as well during this time and if you are looking for passes for your ski sessions they will be available for you to purchase while you are there or before you come for Thanksgiving. Let the family enjoy the day skiing or snowboarding and go back into your rental and have some hot chocolate by the fire.

While you could be staying home and eating the traditional Thanksgiving meal at home, we thought you’d enjoy this idea a little better. If you are still searching for a place to stay at, then you should check out what First Tracts has available for your next holiday adventure. We hope to see you this Thanksgiving and spending it on the slopes or with your family!

Fall in West Virginia is Like Heaven

Summer is just about over and that only means that Fall is coming. Pretty soon the colorful foliage will be the main event this fall and you can’t miss seeing that. When you come visit West Virginia in the fall it’s like heaven to most. And when you stay in one of our vacation rentals, you will be close to the beauty. There is nothing more relaxing than enjoying a cup of coffee overlooking a mountain with fall colors.

Mountain Biking

Fall in West Virginia is Like Heaven

Snowshoe Mountain is well known for skiing and snowboarding during the winter, but did you know that in the fall you can go mountain biking. Yes, there is the Snowshoe Mountain Biking Park that is one of the top mountain biking parks in the area. With over 40 trails that you can choose from to go down, there is something for all ages and experience levels. If you don’t have a mountain bike, then you will be able to rent a downhill bike for $149 a day and you can rent your child one too for $59 a day. If Mountain biking down a hill isn’t your thing, there are other biking trails in the area to take advantage of.

Hiking

If you love the color of the trees changing and the nice fall crisp air, then why not do some hiking. There are many hiking trails that you can take advantage of while you are visiting the area. One trail you can take advantage of is Cranberry Wilderness area trails which is situated in Pocahontas County. There is Allegheny Trail, Greenbrier River Trail, North Fork Mountain Trail and Shavers Mountain Trail. But remember when you go hiking to stay on the trails and don’t hike after dark. This can be a great way to capture some wonderful pictures or even portraits of your family.

Golfing

Since the weather will be turning cooler, it only means that you will be able to enjoy golfing a little more. Hitting a tee shot at the Raven Golf Club or at Pocahontas Country Club is just what you have been wanting. The Ravel Golf Club is an 18-hole Gary Player signature golf course for those who want something fun and challenging. Pocahontas Country Club is another public golf course that has a beautiful rolling terrain for you to play two rounds of golf if you want to in the day. Perfect for a day of fun with either the family or the guys.

There are many activities that you can take enjoy of while you are visiting the Snowshoe area during the fall. If you have a big family, we do have 5-bedroom vacation rentals for you to take advantage of. We can’t wait to see you this fall and help us make this a yearly tradition to visit during the cooler months.
