Mountain bikes race down some of the best bike terrain in the United States at Snowshoe Mountain Resort. The resort has a host of activities and events to take advantage of during the summer months.
SNOWSHOE With an abundance of activities to do and events to attend, the absence of snow and warming temperatures doesn’t force Snowshoe Mountain Resort into hibernation during the summer months.
The 2021 summer schedule at the resort gets underway on Thursday, May 6 when the Raven Golf Club opens for the season. The next date to mark down is May 21, when the increasingly popular Bike Park and all of the other activities at the resort opens.
