With a skiing area of 54 acres, it makes for a peaceful skiing experience. Wolf Ridge has a fairly humble variety of runs and a decent quantity of good ski lifts. This ski resort boasts 5 feet of snow every season, and that is of course not outstanding, but not that shaggy either. This ski resort receives less than average snow each winter. This ski area has 5 different ski lifts, and they are satisfactorily maintained and operated by kind folks.

    The Great Smoky Mountains in wintertime is a tremendous skiing and snowboarding destination. Getting a splendid workout and getting out of the house for a while surpasses anything. With a 700 foot height difference it's not the tallest hill there is, but all the
other good features of Wolf Ridge make up for it. Skiing and snowboarding in this part of the country is loads of fun every day of the winter season.

The snow blanketed peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains make for a tremendous sight. You'll stumble upon lots of skiers from Johnson City here. You may have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the bottom of the hill if you want to spend a night, but if you don’t have reservations, you will possibly end up sleeping in your vehicle.
