 Poster: A snowHead
|
Life being what it is, I seem to have washed up in East Tennessee. I brought the skis, and seem to have found a motley gang interested in trying skiing... Now, does anyone have any suggestions of ski resorts in the Appalachians near* here?
It seems to me that Sugar Mountain is the best bet? Otherwise there is Appalachian Ski Mountain, Cataloochee etc. Have any snowheads ever ventured out this far??
I don't want to fly out anywhere too outrageous (i.e. West) until the wife gets here, or I shall be in trouble!
*Near in American terms...

Some of THE finest people, hands down, in that region of America. I've never met better Americans, per se. Exceptional beauty from numerous points of view, do not miss out on the Blue Ridge Parkway that can be accessed easily throughout, say from Linville. Beech Mountain is vastly better than it appears - again for what the region offers.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

It has certainly been entertaining so far, and the beer is excellent too. We are quite happy to give small mountain skiing a go, as we used to ski in this place just behind our house in France:

Now if I can just find a middle aged-old farts ski club for racing...

@JamesHJ, Is OberGatlinburg anywhere near to you? I visited it in Summer during a motoring trip through that part of the US out of curiosity.It's near Pigeon Forge and Dollywood (though I didn't visit that  )

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

OberGatlinburg is very close (we are near Knoxville). It is super warm at the moment though, and I am not sure how much snow there is down there. Still, might be a good place to bring some beginners. The fly fishing in the summer looks EPIC down that way too.

Snowshoe WV is the "biggest" thing close to you although it's a several hour drive. Beech and Sugar are closer and aren't horrible although they are very small and don't have much snow usually. I grew up in NE TN and learned to ski at those 2.

Wow, who knew snow heads was so international? Probably going to give Sugar Mtn a go if the weather holds up OK.
