Snowshoe has several commercial areas, with the most prominent being The Village at Snowshoe, located at the summit of the mountain (rather than at its base).
But the real snow day occurred on Jan. 25, 1999. Depending on the part of town, 6 to 8 inches fell that day in town. That was enough to bring the town -- schools, businesses and many city and county entities -- to a virtual halt, with many of them closing. The issue was not so much the snow, as it was driving in it.
