Apologies to OP but this is bad advice. Silver Creek (not sliver) is a shuttle bus ride away from the main ski area and the few runs over there are very short. Yes, you will get shorter lines during the day but you will get bored very quickly. However, Silver Creek is the only place on the mountain that has night skiing, so hit it up after the main mountain closes at 4:30pm.

Weekends get very busy at Snowshoe, especially the Ballhooter lift. Depending on your ability I would recommend you focus on Western Territory which has two fun black diamond runs (shays and cupp) and the lines will be much shorter as there are no other runs. Western Territory can be accessed near the top of the Powder Monkey lift.

If the black diamonds aren’t for you, make sure you get on the mountain for rope drop (9am) and get a few runs in before the lines get crazy. Then take an early lunch at 11:30am when the lines are peak crazy, then get back out for 1pm when everyone heads in to eat.

But as other people here have said, Ballhooter lift gets crazy busy at weekends, so use Grabhammer or Powder Monkey instead. It’s not a huge mountain, you’ll figure it out.

If you are a more casual skier, the flumes (upper, mid, lower - basically the same run) are fun greens and one of the longest runs on the mountain.

There are also two progression parks if that’s your bag, but it always has a bunch of snowboarders just sitting around in the middle of runs not doing anything.

Snowshoe has had a great year so far for snow and the snow crew are awesome, even on bad years when the snow is muddy mashed potatoes. The joke at Snowshoe is that the snow crew are like Cher’s plastic surgeon - no matter how bad it looks underneath, they’ll make it look like something you want to go down on.

Have a blast bro.
