Hawksnest is a nice place to go skiing, I recommend it. says George.

Hawksnest has a much lower than average percentage of challenging trails and a much higher than average percentage of easy slopes. The 619 foot vertical drop is of course not that much to brag about, but all the other glorious qualities of Hawksnest compensate for it.

    lifts here, and they are nicely kept up and managed by caring folks. Snowboarding and skiing in this part of North Carolina is a fine thing to do throughout the winter season. Hawksnest has a somewhat modest array of slopes and not many lifts. This is a small-size
