The Fun Never Stops

Hit the Slopes at Cataloochee Ski Area

Consistently one of the earliest resorts in the Southeast to open the ski season and the latest to close, thanks to its technologically advanced snowmaking capability, Cataloochee Ski Area is a winter playground for the entire family. With 16 slopes and trails, Cataloochee Ski Area offers mountains of fun for everyone, from skiers to snowboarders, from novices to veterans. Beginners can get a feel for things on a couple of smooth, gentle slopes (classes and private lessons are also available), while the more adventurous can head to the ramps, rails and boxes at the Cat Cage Terrain Park. For those with a need for speed, there's plenty of steepness on this mountain. Nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains, the surrounding views are magical. When you need a break or have taken the skis off for the day, check out the lodge, where you can warm up by the double-sided fireplace, enjoy some good food and drink, and perhaps even listen to a live band. Start your adventure now by visiting Cataloochee Ski Area.

See the Wild West at Ghost Town in the Sky

Step back into the Wild West at Ghost Town in the Sky. But be careful, you just might find yourself in the middle of of a gunfight. The family-fun theme park in Maggie Valley reopened in 2007 after a five-year closure. And it's better than ever. Take the chairlift to the top of Buck Mountain, where the park is perched. The views are spectacular. Once there, the real adventure begins. Thrill seekers will certainly find the right dose of adrenaline riding the Cliff Hanger Rollercoaster and the Geronimo Drop Tower. There's a bevy of less intimidating rides, too. While strolling the streets of Ghost Town, make sure to stop by the Silver Dollar Saloon to enjoy live music and the classic Can Can Girl Dancers. But keep your eyes peeled for bank robbers. Ghost Town offers a fun experience for everyone in the family. Ghost Town typically opens in late spring and closes in the fall.
