You may not consider areas in the South when planning your next skiing or snowboarding vacation this winter. And it’s true many of us moved to the South to escape the long, cold, dark winters in the northeast areas of the country. However Boone’s climate and its proximity to Charlotte and the Raleigh-Durham areas of North Carolina makes it a great option for a skiing, or snowboarding vacation. Not only that but if you live ever further south, such as in Florida, you can be in the mountains and ready to ski in a day’s drive. With 3 ski resort areas plus Hawk’s Nest for snowtubing there are some great options for the winter sports enthusiast. Or, if you prefer hiking, or sightseeing by car, Boone is off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Explore the overlooks and trails all along this scenic highway. Not to leave out those less inclined to outdoors in the winter, nearby Blowing Rock offers shopping and restaurants. Need a place to stay during your visit to Boone? Kradel’s Kabins has 3 great cabin rentals. Check availability now.
