Liquor:
Bring some, share some, bring some for you and your friends. Think of the horror if we ran out?
DIRECTIONS:
*Don’t go down to Harrisonburg, it’ll add roughly 30 more minutes to your trip.
Use these
directions instead.
To Snowshoe: Take
I-66 West to I-81 South. Travel to Exit
296, which is State Route 55 West. Travel on 55 West through Moorefield, WV to Petersburg, WV. At
Petersburg you will pick up 28/55 and stay on south 28 for 32 miles… picking up
28/92 South toward Greenbank, WV.
Just south of Greenbank turn right onto State
Route 66 West. There will be signage for Snowshoe and Cass Scenic Railroad.
Continue through the town of Cass making a sharp turn over the bridge and
follow 66 West to the first Snowshoe Drive turn on the right unless road
conditions are not clear. Continue on Rt. 66 to the second right turn for
Snowshoe Drive. Turn onto Westridge Road
on your left (if coming from the south).
GPS:
Exact GPS Location of house.

Parking:
Park at the bottom of the driveway the best you can.
If you need to be picked up, park in the parking lot area near Loggers Run, on Loggers Lane and try to call and someone will come get you. If you have no signal, go to the main building and call from there.

Ski and Board Rentals:
You’re on your own, but it’s a whole lot more convenient to rent from the resort than drive all the way on the other side of the mountain to save on rent. We’re not close to the Ski Barn like last year.
The main resort is walkable from the lodge we’re staying at.

Pretty sure we debunked that Harrisonburg-adds-thirty-minutes rumor previously. I only prefer that route because it allows Costco/supermarket-shopping closer to the destination, rather than riding most of the way crammed up with (defrosting) groceries. Also, as I recall, more highway = more better in bad weather.

Difference in driving time was pretty inconsequential, especially since random traffic on either end (DC congestion or getting stuck behind a truck in the mountains) plays a much bigger role, anyway.
Side note to all: it is generally ill-advised to speed through backwater towns. It is also ill-advised to drive without *all* of your paperwork - registration and proof of insurance, as well as license. Combining these is definitely an even worse idea.
