    In Virginia there are many beautiful lakes, Big Pond is one of them. What would winter be without some skiing at Snowshoe. Summer at Big Pond comes with high temperatures in the 80's. When the night sets in temperatures fall down into the 50's. Through the wintertime this place gets highs in the 30's, and overnight lows in the 10's for Big Pond. From Big Pond you get a splendid sight of House Rock; there are wonderful sites to look at along the Warm Springs  
   Mountain Trail.
Don't forget to take a splendid little visit to Gulley Run, and you need to pop by Bear Rocks while you're here. And if that's not sufficient, there's plenty more to do close to Big Pond. Get your pulse rate up on the glorious whitewater of Jackson River; going for a hike on the Bear Rock Trail is always a good adventure. This lake is so wonderful. Camping is available at Virginia Power, and you'll stumble on a striking lake called Bath
 
               County Pumped Storage Lake.
A nice site for whitewater paddling near Big Pond is Back Creek - Jackson Tributary, and why not camp at Hidden Valley Campground since you're here at Big Pond. The high level of precipitation makes Big Pond a relatively wet place; of all the months in a year July is the one with the most rain; the driest month is December. This lake is so wonderful. A gorgeous lake like Lake of the Pines next to Big Pond is a nice spot to have a look at, and don't leave Big Pond without first going for a hike along the Piney Mountain Trail.
The slopes of The Homestead are so inviting nobody can resist, and a short spree to Muddy Run Spring is always worthwhile.

Snowshoe has the biggest elevation drop of any skiresort in the region which in my oppinion makes it a realtively great ski resort. You can get more skiing done before you have to get on the lift again. Which I think is very important in a ski resort....
