SAFETY! We want you to have a great time
and enjoy skiing the High Country. To be sure you have an enjoyable and safe trip,
please observe the following guidelines: 1. Always stay in control and be able to
stop or avoid other people or objects. 2. People ahead of you have the right of
way. It is your responsibility to avoid them. 3. You must not stop where you obstruct
a trail, or are not visible from above. 4. Whenever starting downhill or merging
into a trail, look uphill and yield to others. 5. Always use devices to prevent runaway
equipment. 6. Observe all posted signs and warnings.
Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas. 7. Prior to using any lift, you must have
the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely. This

| 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. |
