The Verdict
Snowshoe Mountain offers more terrain to explore, but both resorts provide a full day of skiing. At 4,848 feet, Snowshoe Mountain offers a true high-alpine experience with better snow preservation. Both are on the Indy Pass, so pass holders can ski either without additional tickets. Consider your priorities: terrain size, snow quality, or convenience. Each factor may point to a different choice.
