Hawksnest   Hawks nest was the best in the world. Says Elizabeth Belisle. Hawksnest is a nice place to go skiing, I recommend it. Says George. Biggest waste of time & money! $33 per person for 1 hour 45 minutes. We went down two hills! We spent $244 to ride two times. The lines aren't roped off so everybody pushes in front of you and they have no problem knocking your children down. It is extremely unsafe, they were running their snow plow/lane smoother     while we tubed! This thing has metal caterpillar tracks and the lanes are separated by 6 inch berms...and numerous tubers crossed into other lanes! Talked to the manager, swears it's safe and that if you or your child gets hurt ''I don't care, that's your problem''. Says Stacie Fri, 1 Jan 2010. The 12 runs at this ski mountain are lovely. This ski mountain has a much lower than average fraction of red and black runs and a much higher than average fraction of beginner and intermediate ski trails. This is a relaxed ski resort with an average drop from top to bottom if compared to other mid Atlantic ski mountains. There are 4 different ski lifts here, and they are skillfully looked after   and run by friendly people. With a skiing area of 20 acres, it's exceptionally nice and small-size. This ski area has a somewhat small assortment of ski trails and a rather modest number of ski lifts. The annual snowfall is lower than average at this ski mountain. The annual snowfall of 6 feet keeps the ski trails well covered throughout the winter season. A 619 foot vertical drop is unsurprisingly not that much, but all the other fine qualities of Hawksnest compensate for it. Getting a little great exercise and spending some quality time in the wilderness will make you delighted you came. Whether you're skiing or snowboarding, this is an area with a lot of locations for that. There are several tremendous hotel rooms near the bottom of the hill, and if you make reservations prior to departure, you're all set. You'll stumble upon loads of skiers from Boone here. The winter months in North Carolina is truly a great time of year for snowboarding and skiing. The skiing and the snowboarding in North Carolina is lots of fun every day of the winter season. Hawksnest ski area Management Says: We are not offering skiing or snowboarding this winter. Hawksnest is now the largest snow tubing park on the east coast with over 20 lanes of tubing fun. www.hawksnesttubing.com Special features: currently tubing only          Hotels Near Hawksnest ski area, North Carolina Blue Ridge Village, Banner Elk 1.5 miles away Best Western Mountain Lodge At Banner Elk, Banner Elk 2.4 miles away Banner Haven Bed And Breakfast, Banner Elk 3.3 miles away Jackalope's Mountain Lodge, Banner Elk 5.2 miles away Highland Hills Cabins, Boone 9.6 miles away Super 8 Boone NC, Boone 9.8 miles away Ridgeway Inn, Blowing Rock 10.3 miles away Meadowbrook Inn And Suites, Blowing Rock 10.5 miles away Hillwinds Inn, Blowing Rock 10.7 miles away The Village Inn, Blowing Rock 10.8 miles away Holiday Inn Express BLOWING ROCK SOUTH, Blowing Rock 10.8 miles away Comfort Suites Boone, Boone 11.2 miles away InnPlace Hotel Boone, Boone 11.3 miles away Baymont Inn & Suites Boone Near App State, Boone 11.3 miles away Heavenly Mountain Bed And Breakfast And Health Spa, Boone 11.3 miles away * Distances listed are direct linear distances, actual travel distance may be different.   Pictures of Hawksnest ski area Bigger Picture Bigger Picture Bigger Picture Stats Detailed Stats Contact Info Phone, Email, Address, GPS coordinates Weather Local weather forecast These outdoors activities are available near Hawksnest ski area.   Ski Areas Near Hawksnest ski area: Sugar Mountain, North Carolina , 2 miles away    1200 foot drop, 8 lifts, 20 runs    15% Expert & Adv.    50% Intermediate    35% Beginner Ski Beech, North Carolina , 5 miles away    830 foot drop, 10 lifts, 15 runs    30% Expert & Adv.    40% Intermediate    30% Beginner Appalachian Mountain, North Carolina , 11 miles away    365 foot drop, 5 lifts, 9 runs    35% Expert & Adv.    40% Intermediate    25% Beginner Wolf Ridge, North Carolina , 48 miles away    700 foot drop, 5 lifts, 20 runs    20% Expert & Adv.    50% Intermediate    30% Beginner Cataloochee, North Carolina , 93 miles away    740 foot drop, 4 lifts, 10 runs    25% Expert & Adv.    50% Intermediate    25% Beginner Winterplace, West Virginia , 95 miles away    603 foot drop, 9 lifts, 27 runs    15% Expert & Adv.    44% Intermediate    41% Beginner   Whitewater Near Hawksnest ski area: Whitewater Outfitter - High Mountain Expeditions, Avery County , 1 miles away, Whitewater outfitter Watauga River, Watauga County , 6 miles away, Class II-IV - 2 miles long (SR 1557 to North Carolina 105) Wilson Creek, Avery / Caldwell County , 6 miles away, Class IV - 5 miles long (Upper Wilson)   Trails Near Hawksnest ski area: Daniel Boone Scout Trail, Caldwell , 2 miles away Yancey Ridge Trail, Avery , 7 miles away Laurel Fork Trail, Carter , 18 miles away   National Parks Near Hawksnest ski area: Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville - NC , 59 miles away   Golf Courses Near Hawksnest ski area: Hawksnest Ski Resort, Seven Devils , 0 miles away Diamond Creek, Banner Elk , 2 miles away Sugar Mountain Golf Club, Sugar Mountain , 2 miles away
