Thousands of feet up in the Blue Ridge Mountains, you can put aside your work commitments for a day and tackle exciting, challenging ski terrain with a scenic blue mountain/blue sky background. Resorts in NC give you access to multiple ski facilities and all the perks that come along with them.

I recommend: Residing at 4,000 feet in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Inn at Yonahlossee offers a variety of activities as well as access to great nearby skiing. The same goes for the Country Inn & Suites in Boone, NC, making them both excellent NC ski resorts.
