[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t do Snowshoe. The roads can be bad. Many years ago we hit a really bad storm going there. Our SUV went off the road and into a ditch. Pretty desolate area. There was no cell service where we were. It’s one of those bad core memories me and my family will never forget.[/quote]

I think this is overblown. Everybody freaks out about the roads going to Snowshoe. Most of the time, the roads will be dry. If they are not, and you’re not a seasoned winter driver with at least mud & snow rated tires, then just slow way down (but please pull over frequently and let people pass).

If you’re lucky enough that the roads are snow packed, and you’re not confident you can make it up, do not drive up the mountain “the back way” (from the south/east), and instead drive the extra 30 min around and come up from the west.

I used to drive to snowshoe all the time in a 2WD Nissan. The one thing I am sympathetic to is the drive can create car sickness for those in the back. [/quote]
