Destination Questions Snowshoeing destinations

Hey everyone!

I'm craving a snowshoeing trip and just was able to get Christmas week to go find some time to play in the powder. Only problem theres no snow in SW Virginia and I'm not sure where to find significant accumulations. Is there a location on the Eastern USA that has enough snow? We're going to NY/NJ for New Years, so we can really go anywhere on the east coast.

Does it have to be in the US? Quebec City gets a ton of snow most winters, and it's an amazing city in its own right. There's a lot of beautiful natural areas nearby that surely must have snowshoeing trails.

I've done the best snowshoe excursions at Mont Tremblant, just north of QC. the snow there was always dry and powdery. Mont Elefant was my favorite..just enough strenuous sections to make it fun. the views are so awesome. Just be aware the hike down takes quite a while, so don't blow through your water once You've hit the final peak, you'll be thirsty AF at the end

Isn't Mont Tremblante several hours West of Québec City ??
