So much for skiing, mountain biking, and playing golf in one day. Snowshoe’s seven open slopes have finally succumbed to unseasonably warm temperatures, closing Friday afternoon until the snowguns can once again start firing. The West Virginia resort will take advantage of warmer temperatures this weekend to offer golf and mountain biking, as originally planned.

Colder temperatures will begin returning to the area early next week. Snowshoe is hoping to make snow Monday night, and reports that they can re-open slopes with just two nights of snowmaking. Until this afternoon, Snowshoe was the only ski area open south of Vermont.
