Cataloochee Ski Area Maggie Valley NC. Great place for the family. Staff are extremely courteous. Beginners green slope is much, much better than Ober Gatlinburg. Its a place where you can perfect your skills.
Thanks for posting this. We live near Ober, but we found the green was much too difficult for most of the beginners there and people were crashing into each other constantly. :o We've been to Sugar Mountain NC also, and loved their green. We are hoping to try out Cataloochee (it's only 1.5 hours from our house) before this season ends in march. Our kids are just learning to ski so we want a much gentler green than Ober.
You are welcome....Its not a great video. In regard to new skiiers ---The Cataloochee green slope will work with anyone that can snow plow or is learning to snow plow after attending a group lesson ( or being correctly taught).. The short intermediate slope is also manageable for anyone with a controlled snow plow. The best and longest green slopes in the southeast are at Snowshoe Mountain, WV. Wolfe Ridge has a nice green slope (20 minutes north of Ashville), also. Sugar and Beech Mountain's are OK but they get as crowded as Ober. Ober's green slope would really be great if the just made the investment to straigtened out the elbow.
