Ober Gatlinburg ski area, Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee

Ober Gatlinburg doesn't have a lot of different runs to choose from but it's pretty ok based on the area. says Bob Turner.

Ober Gatlinburg has a rather modest collection of trails and quite few ski lifts. With a 600 foot vertical drop it's not the tallest hill there is, but all the other tremendous properties of Ober Gatlinburg make up for it. Having a skiing area of 38 acres, it's more of a small style ski area. This ski area has a much lower than average ratio of tough ski runs and a much higher than average

    share of blue and green trails. The yearly snowfall is less than average at Ober Gatlinburg. If you'll be staying in a hotel, you're in luck, rooms are offered in the vicinity of the bottom area, but you'd better book previous to going given that these rooms fill
up fast. This is a small-size ski hill boasting a roughly average drop when you compare it to other ski areas in the region. The 8 trails at this ski hill are charming. When this segment of Tennessee is covered in beautiful snow; it is so wonderful for skiing and snowboarding. The Great Smoky Mountains covered in beautiful snow is a one hundred percent skiing and snowboarding paradise. The 3 feet of great snow that falls here every winter is pretty acceptable for a ski mountain like this one. Ober Gatlinburg has the

largest vertical drop for 33 miles. Some people prefer skiing and some snowboarding, either way, there are a lot of perfect ski resorts for that in close proximity. The 4 good ski lifts here are enjoyable to hitch a ride with. The best piece of information on this resort is unsurprisingly the trailmap of Ober Gatlinburg on this net page. The highlands of the Great Smoky Mountains make for a brilliant panorama. This ski area is a small place managed by kind folks. The snowboarding and the skiing in Tennessee is a great thing to do every day of the winter. This is a popular ski hill for skiers from Sevierville. This is a family friendly ski area with a lot of intermediate or beginner runs. Getting your skiing muscles activated and getting out of the house for a while is better than anything.
