They have snow magic machine for tubing. They have had it to assist with early season operations.

I don’t think they used it this year. Not positive, however. They have used it for many years in the past.

Oh yah they sure did use it this fall starting in Oct.

Always wanted to ski in the south.  Glad to hear that they are open.  Camelback PA is probably the furthest south that I have skied - to date.

As great as the snowfall has been in New England, it has been the opposite here in the Southeast.  With the exception of WV, we have experienced very warm temperatures throughout most of the season, limiting snowmaking.  So plan your trip next season, when things return to normal (what ever that is).

It’s been a very tough season here in Gatlinburg as a result of the warm temperatures, little natural snowfall, and the continuing perception that the wildfires burned everything to the ground.  We are grateful to be able to use Sno-Magic to keep us going.

That’s a discouraging report, skipro77.  

A few Thanksgivings ago my son and I got over to Sugar Mountain while we were celebrating the holidays with family nearby.  Had a great day there and liked both the runs and the views (except that godforsaken mountaintop highrise monstrosity).  I’ve checked the webcams at Beech, Sugar and others this season and hoped that I just picked poor days.  It looks as though the prolonged cold stretches we had in mid-December and early January in the central Mid-Atlantic didn’t do as much for the SEast.

Have you skied at all in the region, or had to go at least as far as WV for your skiing?

Here’s to a snowy March!

Spent a couple of days at Snowshoe in January.  I skied both days in the rain, my wife never went out.  I’ve not been able to get out anywhere else other than here at G’burg.  Overall a very disappointing season.
