Great Conditions, Spring Pass Deals and
March Events Give Skiers & Boarders Reasons to Celebrate this Month
SNOWSHOE, West Virginia - (March 5, 2013) –
Snowshoe Mountain’s winter season got off to an early start when major October
storms allowed the resort to match its earliest opening date in a decade. Old
Man Winter has continued to bless the West Virginia ski area with significant
late season snowfall, and forecasters say more is on the way. This consistent
winter weather, coupled with record skier turnouts, has given the resort
fantastic setup for extending the season all the way to the end of March.
“We received over three feet of new snow in
February,” says Frank DeBerry, President & COO of Snowshoe Mountain. “And
the weather and conditions just keep getting better just in time for
late-season deals and specials to keep people from pointing to the beach.”
This
strong snow season has also fueled record sales for next season’s winter pass.
The resort’s Unlimited Pass remains available for $249 through March 31st,
and in just the first 10 days on sale, pass sales have already exceeded all of
the season passes sold the previous two years combined. “Conditions are
great, the snow continues to fall, and the price is right, so people want to
get their pass now, enjoy a great March of skiing and riding, and then be set
for next year,” says DeBerry.
The
resort chose the closing date of March 31st in an effort to meet
most of the surrounding area Spring Break dates. Starting March 8th,
Snowshoe will be hosting the first ever Ballhooter Spring Break Festival - a
four-day music and college celebration destined to become an annual tradition.
The event features live music nightly on a festival stage in the Snowshoe
Village, plus The Ballhooter Beach Party presented by Bacardi, live comedy
shows, on-snow games, video contests, race and terrain park competitions, and
the first-ever Red Bull DJ Battle at Snowshoe. The resort is offering college
students deeply discounted packages on lodging and lift tickets as well.
