It's actually in North Carolina. I skied there when I lived in South Carolina. Not as big as Beech Mountain or Sugar but not bad for that far south.

Well then I guess I can never tell you what my friend and I did back in middle school along fairway #7? Not that. Get ur mind out of the gutter but glad that wasn’t enforced

Well, they have a whole video on What is Boutique. I have not watched it. As a quasi local - It's still a 4 hour drive - I can say that place has been cursed as long as I can remember. Let's just say I'm not planning my next trip yet.

ps I would love to have that golf sign .... :)

It's just always been chronically underfunded, barely opens, old facilities, burned down a new lodge when they tried to expand, bankrupted, etc... very small but some nice terrian if open. Seems like more of a sketchy real estate lure than serious ski area. Would be a nice resource for the Asheville north area if it ever gets its act together. Contrast that with Cataloochee to the south which is a similar size and is well run and maintains a good season.

Yes I see your point about real estate. The place is surrounded by roads a golf course a spa etc...

Looks like Ms. Hatley has some dough she is willing to get rid of. Hope it succeeds, though I still wonder why anyone with the resources to buy into such a place does not choose one of the luxury places out west.

Many high-end, non-boutique ski resorts seem to be real estate ventures with skiing as the 'lure'.
