My husband and I and our two - now grown - children live in Wrightsville Beach, NC. And, by the way, if you're interested in a beach vacation, we also have a wonderful and affordable 2 bedroom bungalow just a five minute walk from the beach - please check it out at VRBO listing #358823. My husband is a psychologist and I'm a family and life coach. We like to meet our kids and friends at the Snowshoe Creekside condo as much as possible. Summer is a real treat - I don't ever think I've seen green like Snowshoe in August. Fall is just as wonderful. 2010 was the first time for us to see the WV leaves change - so spectacular - and the hiking, too. Best of all is the skiing. Chris grew up skiing in Vermont and we both spent time skiing in Colorado and the Tahoe area. Without a doubt, Snowshoe is right up there when it comes to a fun ski experience. You don't need the extra hassles of air travel, and the lift lines are shorter - that means more skiing!!!

Fran Rudolph purchased this townhome in 2010

After skiing at Snowshoe with our kids for the past 15 years, we decided to make our gathering spot more permanent. Over the years, we had stayed in almost every complex at Snowshoe and SilverCreek, so when it came time to find a place of our own, we spent a long time looking. Lots of places had benefits but none as much as Creekside. It was the largest and most spacious condo we had ever seen or stayed in. Having three floors makes it soooo easy to spread out, especially with large gatherings of friends and family. The realtor kept saying, 'Don't you want to be in the village?' Not really, as I thought back to what made Snowshoe ski trips so memorable: cooking together, playing games by the fire, and putting together at least one 1000 piece puzzle! Of course, we would pick up the free shuttle and head into the village at least once during the week, usually to take a swim at Split Rock Pool. Other than that, our best memories are from the relaxing time we spent with each other in front of the fire - for me, that's what a ski vacation is all about. And that's what led us to buying our wonderful condo at Creekside - I hope you'll love it as much as we do!!!

The shuttle bus stops right in front of the condo making it so easy for the kids to get around on their own. The Silver Creek Lodge slopes and tubing hill are right behind the condo complex and just a short walk away. And, the only place for night skiing is right here! You can't beat taking a dip in the private hot tub on the deck after a day on the slopes.

For indoor fun there are plenty of old-fashioned games and puzzles to get the whole family together. Or, gather on the ground floor for a friendly foosball tournament

Bring your family to Camp Bear Watch and start making some wonderful memories!
