Appalachian Ski Mtn.
A family-friendly ski area near Blowing Rock, with night skiing, a ski school and an outdoor ice rink.
The ski area opened in 1962 and is about a 10-minute drive from Main Street in Blowing Rock. It has more than ten ski runs, a terrain park and a beginner-focused teaching program, and its French Ski School is well known. Night skiing runs until 10 p.m. In winter there is also an outdoor ice skating rink.
