The High Country Host is home to three premier ski resorts, Appalachian Ski Mtn., Ski Beech and Sugar Mountain Resort, all located within 30 minutes of one another. The High Country, also known as the ski capitol of the south, is a favorite destination of families, couples and adventure-seekers. North Carolina has the highest mountains east of the Rockies and the best variety of restaurants, shops, and other year-round attractions of any destination in the Southeast.

Not a skier? We have a variety of other winter sports available for your enjoyment. Each premier ski resort offers an additional winter sport whether it be ice skating, snow shoeing or tubing. However, if tubing is all you and your family desire, you will want to check out Jonas Ridge Snowtubing for "good, safe fun!"

The ski season begins in mid-November and usually runs through the month of March.
