Expedition Station

Pros:The location for skiing was perfect; you could walk right out of the locker room to the ski area. The restaurants and staff were super friendly. Cons:The parking was a hike, and dropping off your luggage was challenging. We had a difficult time trying to find check-in for the Expedition Station. Overall, it was a clean, safe, and amazing location!

I recently went to Snowshoe Bike Park for the weekend. Other than staying at the mountain there aren't other options except for camping. I rented a Jr. Suite at Expedition Station for 3 nights. I've stayed there before so I knew what to expect. It's the least expensive place in the Village. It had a queen size bed and I think the sofa turned into a bed, a wall-mounted TV, a small table and kitchenette with mini-fridge, microwave, and a 2-burner cooktop. The kitchenette is supplied with dishes, cutlery, etc. The bathroom had plenty of towels. The suite was well worn and could stand to be updated, but it was very clean. No maid service is provided. They're doing some sort of construction on the one side of the building. It was also very quiet, although I don't think there were many occupants. The price of the room was reasonable considering it had a kitchenette. But once the state tax, mountain tax, resort fee, cleaning fee (even though there's no maid service) and whatever else is added in it DOUBLED THE PRICE of the room! I brought all of my food and snacks with me and did not eat out at all. I overheard a resident refer to it as comparable to Disney World for what they charge. So I was perfectly happy to cook all my meals in the room. It's a nice place to visit and it's a beautiful area. You have to be comfortable with no cell service (it's in the radio free area because of the Green Bank Observatory). However, most of the rooms do have WiFi calling. There is a small but not well stocked store on the mountain where the prices are high but if you need bread or eggs it's your only option. I'm not sure if everything is open during the week when it's between seasons. I've never been there during the ski season and I suspect it's busier during the cold months.
