LAUREN: And I'm her daughter, Lauren.

LAURITA: We're from the DMV, and we love to travel.

LAUREN: We definitely do.

LAURITA: One of the best things about living in the DC area are the many places you can visit that are just a few hours away.

LAUREN: So many options, and now we get to check them out together.

LAURITA: So join us for a weekend of some very cool places to stay... LAUREN: Great food.

LAURITA: And nonstop fun.

BOTH: As we Get Out of Town!

LAUREN: Alright, we're on the way to Snowshoe!

LAURITA: Woo-hoo!

Snowshoe, West Virginia!

LAUREN: Mm-hm, the GPS is saying it's gonna take probably around four hours and 30 minutes, so, not too bad.

To be back out on the slopes, it's been a while.

I know it's gonna be fun, probably a little tricky, but I'm sure it will be like riding a bike again.

LAURITA: I will enjoy my winter shopping, or chilling.

Maybe there's a good hot tub.

LAUREN: Well, we're gonna go snow tubing, so you get to do something winter-esque.

LAURITA: Well you know, I don't mind snow tubing, you know I, I can do that.

LAUREN: That's true.

But I hope you don't fall while we're out there.

LAURITA: Girl, no promises, because when I'm on ice or snow, it could happen.

You see that snow up ahead?

LAUREN: I do.

It is going to be snow season.

LAURITA: It is snow for days.

It's like snow-mageddon.

LAUREN: Well, let's put on some tunes.

LAURITA: Okay.

Look how this opens up, it's like a little city!

LAUREN: It looks like we're in a Hallmark movie, like the small town that the big city girl comes to.

LAURITA: It does.

SHAWN: Snowshoe is the perfect four-seasons destination for families in the mid-Atlantic.

Located in Pocahontas County, West Virginia.

High in the Allegheny Mountains.

It's a great place to come experience Appalachia and just have fun in the mountains.

We're located at the southern tip of Cheat Mountain.

Cheat Mountain is 4,848 feet, second-highest point in the state.

Cheat Mountain got its name way back in the 1800s because the Cheat River starts here, and runs down the valley.

The expression back then was the Cheat River had cheated many a man of its life.

Because the micro-climate here, and the weather's very harsh.

And Cheat Mountain picked up on the river's namesake.

Dr. Thomas Brigham was the founder of Snowshoe.

He had the vision to build it the way it is, the upside-down resort.

They initially planned to do it the way you'd usually build a ski resort, with the base area at the bottom, but he saw one great sunset at the top of the mountain and said, you know what, let's put all of our base area facilities at the top of the mountain.

So you ski down, and then ride the lift back up, a little counterintuitive for most folks who've skied elsewhere.

But that leads to the lodging and all the facilities up here having those amazing sunrise and sunset views.

On top of the mountain, we have over 1,200 units spread across 37 different complexes.

Regular hotel rooms, condos, and there's houses that can have two or three families in them.

It's really something for everyone.

♪ ♪ LAUREN: Ooh, let me not get stuck.

DESK CLERK: Pura Vida, yeah!

LAUREN: Ah, such a beautiful country.

DESK CLERK: I know, right?

LAUREN: Thank you!

LAURITA: Thank you so much.

DESK CLERK: You're welcome.

SHAWN: From the moment you pull up to Allegheny Springs, you walk into the amazing hearth room, with the fire roaring.

Really heavy timber architecture in there.

You're like "Yes, this is a ski lodge".

You're steps away from the slopes, right next to the Ballhooter Lift, which is our primary chairlift.

And amazing amenities.

You know, they have the pool and the hot tub, and the health club downstairs.

Everything you could want in a ski destination.

In Allegheny Springs, you got a wide variety of room types.

You got everything from the little studio units and one-bedrooms up to two and three-bedroom units.

We've got Lauren and Laurita set up in a suite, one-bedroom unit.

LAURITA: Oh, Lauren this is so cute!

LAUREN: It's so cozy.

Oh, this carpet is comfortable.

LAURITA: Oh wow, it's nice and plush.

LAUREN: It's so cushy.

LAURITA: Makes you feel like you're at home, doesn't it?

LAUREN: I know, it does!

LAURITA: Hey, welcome to the "All-Snowed Inn".

I love a play on words.

(laughing).

Nice bathroom, and look, you know we have our fireplace.

LAUREN: I'm definitely gonna be propped up there after I get off the slopes.

LAURITA: And look at the boot rack, so when you get off the slopes, your boots can dry right in front of the fireplace.

LAUREN: Perfect.

LAURITA: Well, let's check out the bedroom.

LAUREN: This is so cozy, I love all the wall décor that they have.

LAURITA: You know, and this feels like it's a little cocoon.

Oh!

LAURITA: Let's go back this way and see it.

LAUREN: Okay, let's see.

Ooh, look at our views!

LAURITA: That's nice, look how the trees are lit up.

That's so beautiful.

LAUREN: I wonder if we can see the snow tubing hill from here.

We should get ready and go head over there.

LAURITA: I'm ready to tube, girl.

When I see the snow I wanna do something.

Ready?

LAUREN: Let's do it.

LAURITA: Let's do it.

♪ ♪ KATELYNN: The Silver Creek Ski Area is a short little shuttle ride, just from the top of our Village ski area.

We offer the Coca-Cola tube park, which is our snow tubing park.

We have eight lanes down there.

It's perfect for those who don't want to get out there on the slopes, but they still wanna enjoy winter snow and fun activities.

It's a blast for families because no ability is required there, you know, the only that we ask is that you have the ability to have a good time.

So, Lauren and Laurita, I'm kinda hoping they'll get some racing in.

I, I've got my bets on Lauren.

LAURITA: Will I beat her coming down the slope?

Probably.

LAUREN: Not!

LAURITA: But, you know, sometimes as a mom I let my daughter just win things.

But it's not a competition!

LAUREN: Sometimes - I would say, sometimes she doesn't let me, I just beat her.

BOTH: Game on!

LAURITA: See you later.

LAUREN: Ahh!

(laughing).

LAURITA: Woo-hoo!

LAUREN: Good.

LAURITA: Great.

STEPHEN: Good, good.

How was the ride up?

LAUREN: I liked it, it was nice.

STEPHEN: It's exciting for sure.

Cool.

Well, it's pretty simple from here, you're just gonna pick a lane, sit down in your tubes, so you're gonna be down in the donut, and then ride on down the hill.

Let gravity do the work, you'll come to a stop, you're gonna hop up, roll out of your tube, whatever.

Then work your way back over to do it again.

BOTH: Yeah!

LAUREN: That was so fun.

And very exhilarating, very adrenaline-pumping, it was fun.

LAURITA: Well, I experienced a lot.

At some point, my tube left me.

Went down without me.

But on that last one, I made it up to the bumpers!

LAUREN: It wouldn't be snow tubing if you didn't fall, though.

LAURITA: I know.

I tell you what, I would do it again and again and again.

This is my Olympic moment.

Yes!

I have your keys right here.

BOTH: Thank you!

DESK CLERK: You're welcome.

LAURITA: I almost wanna hang out here, it's so cool.

JIM: Corduroy Inn and Lodge is a privately owned, family-owned business.

The family bought it back in 2014, and seen a need for more of a luxury-type stay.

We are about a five-minute walk to the Village, it's directly across from Cupp Run and Shay's Revenge, which are our black diamonds, and it's also adjacent to Powder Monkey Lift, which is our blues and greens.

Busy ski season is shoulder-to-shoulder, everybody coming from all walks of life, all over the world here to stay, and you can get such a cool mix of people here at Corduroy.

And then, for summer, it's fantastic here.

Because mountain biking is huge in the summertime.

Of course, we have the stables and razor tours and the lake, and Cass train.

The perfect getaway is just being in nature.

So the inn was built in the mid-70s, and it was kind of grandfathered in.

And then it was purchased by the owners and completely remodeled.

And then they built the lodge here in 2019 and 20, that's added 30 more rooms.

Lauren and Laurita are staying in our two-bedroom, two-bathroom suite.

And it's got the better of the views because of all the Allegheny mountains.

LAUREN: Ooh.

LAURITA: Ohh my gosh.

This is beautiful!

LAUREN: This is so nice!

LAURITA: And look at the kitchen!

LAUREN: Nice size.

LAURITA: Modern, clean.

And look at that little coffee maker, cuz you know I like a good cup of coffee... LAUREN: Don't I know it.

LAURITA: Or some tea.

LAUREN: This whole thing is just giving mountain vibes.

Like, are we in the mountains?

LAURITA: Oh, we're in the mountains!

LAUREN: I think so!

LAURITA: Wow.

LAUREN: Alright, should we go check out the rooms?

LAURITA: Yes.

LAUREN: Okay.

Ooh, and they have a washer and dryer, too!

LAURITA: Bonus points.

LAUREN: Oh, this room is nice.

LAURITA: I love it, it is nice.

LAUREN: This is perfect for me, I'll take this one.

LAURITA: I agree, I agree.

LAUREN: I like it, a nice little bed.

LAURITA: Alright, let's go see my stuff, on this side.

LAUREN: Alright.

LAURITA: Oh, Lauren, equally perfect for me.

LAUREN: I know, this is a nice room for you.

LAURITA: This is nice, and a lovely view.

LAUREN: Okay, I've been out all day, I think it is time for us to go head to Appalachia Kitchen.

LAURITA: I'm ready, cause I'm hungry.

LAUREN: Alright, let's go.

LAURITA: Okay.

SCOTT: The Corduroy Inn offers three dining options.

We have Tuque's Bar and Grill, which is casual American food.

Burgers, sandwiches, salads.

We also have The Pizza Slice, which is our carryout brick oven pizza.

We're serving homemade dough, all of our same local ingredients.

And then the last is the Appalachia Kitchen.

We're one of only a few fine dining options on Snowshoe Mountain.

It's still kind of a casual environment, we have plenty of people that come in in their ski gear, and you can see the skiers, you can see the chairlifts, it's all right here.

LAUREN: Oh, that's a cute sign.

LAURITA: I like that.

I've heard about the food here, and I know it's amazing.

You know I love black and whites.

I'm trying to wear more colors, but I have traditionally been a black-and-white- wearing person.

(laughing).

LAUREN: This food is going to be so good.

I know this is going to hit!

LAURITA: What I read about them, they do a lot of farm-to-table cooking.

LAUREN: Ooh.

LAURITA: You know, so it always feels like you're servicing your community when you do farm-to-table.

LAUREN: That is very true.

LAURITA: Which I always love.

SCOTT: We make everything from scratch, we source all of our meat and produce from local, regional farms.

LAURITA: Oh, I'm gonna definitely do the roasted beet salad.

LAUREN: I'm thinking I might do the lobster bisque.

LAURITA: Oh, that sounds good.

LAUREN: Mm-hm, I'll let you have a little taste.

LAURITA: Well okay.

SCOTT: The beets are locally grown beets, and they're roasted in olive oil and salt and pepper.

It's served with a arugula salad, and pickled daikon radish.

So for the lobster bisque, we take the lobster bodies and we cook them down and create the bisque, and then garnish it with claw meat.

Hello ladies.

LAURITA: Hello.

LAUREN: Hi!

SCOTT: I'm Chef Scott, and I brought you some lobster bisque... LAUREN: Yum.

SCOTT: And a roasted beet salad.

LAURITA: Can I have a taste?

LAUREN: And every day here is a cold day.

Mm, I'm sure.

I guess you can.

LAURITA: Thank you.

LAUREN: The lobster is like, really subtle, but you can still taste it in there.

LAURITA: Oh my gosh, it's so good.

LAUREN: Mm-hm.

SCOTT: For entrées, Lauren and Laurita will be having the mountain state trout, and the Berkshire pork chops.

The trout is pan-seared and crusted with freeze-dried corn.

It's served with a white clam sauce, quinoa risotto, and sautéed French beans.

The trout comes from a friend of mine's farm, and it's the best trout you'll ever taste.

The pork chop is a bone-in pork loin.

It's Berkshire pork.

It's grilled and glazed with local maple syrup and it's served over a pumpkin risotto with charred broccoli rabe and a red chili sauce.

Alright, I have your entrées for you.

For you, I have local mountain state trout.

LAUREN: Mmm.

SCOTT: And we have a Berkshire pork chop.

LAURITA: Oh my gosh.

LAUREN: It looks delicious.

LAURITA: Chef, this is amazing.

LAURITA: I almost don't want to touch it, it's beautifully plated.

But I'm gonna touch it.

SCOTT: Alright.

Enjoy.

LAUREN: Get a little bit of everything, like you say.

LAURITA: Of course, you gotta get it all in.

LAUREN: And that green bean's my favorite!

LAURITA: You got the right dish, and so did I. LAUREN: This cream sauce that they have pairs so nicely with the crunch of the green beans.

And this trout is delicious.

LAURITA: It looks good, but I'm telling you, the pork chop just like, melts in your mouth.

It's so tender, so juicy.

LAUREN: Mm.

LAURITA: Wow, how was your day?

LAUREN: My day was good, it was long.

My knees are definitely bruised from being out on the slopes, but it was really fun.

I enjoyed getting back out on the board, Joe showed me so many things that I don't think I ever had really known with snowboarding.

LAURITA: Well, that's nice.

LAUREN: So I feel like by the end I got my rhythm and I was turning, and going across the mountain, it was a good time.

How was your day, your nice relaxing day?

LAURITA: My day, whoo-hoo!

My day was good, cause you know I got a chance to shop, and that's my sport.

And then, you know, when I went back I just chilled and, you know, I got a chance to get in the hot tub.

LAUREN: I know, that's where I found you.

LAURITA: I know!

That was super relaxing.

I didn't know I was gonna enjoy it as much as I did.

LAUREN: I know, I always get a little weary when the hot tub's outside, and especially with it being so cold, but you looked like you were enjoying it.

LAURITA: Oh, it was fantastic.

I would do that again.
