With an elevation of 3301 feet, and a vertical drop of 600 feet, Ober Gatlinburg features eight trails: two beginner trails, four intermediate trails, and two advanced trails. There are three lifts, including two quad lifts, one double lift, and one surface lift. The Season runs from the middle of December through early March, and night skiing is allowed on all trails except the Grizzly trail.
Rentals are available for both ski equipment and snowboarding equipment. Private and group lessons for skiing and snowboarding are also available through the Smokey Mountain Snow Sport School. You can also easily find food at the many snack-bars, food carts, the caf, the restaurant, or in the lounge.
You must not miss the longest chair lift ride in the south! You will see awesome views of the Great Smoky Mountains. You will also get a birds eye view of some of the slopes, and you can have your picture taken on top of the mountain. If you dont ski, dont worry! You can ride back down the mountain on the chair lift as well. Dont forget the Tramway. The tramway departs from downtown Gatlinburg and takes you to the ski resort and the amusement park.
Even if you dont ski,...
