A winter stay in Asheville puts skiers, snowboarders and snow tubers about 30 minutes away from the closest slopes, and just over an hour from some of the highest ski peaks east of the Mississippi River, with elevations over 5,500 feet. Be sure to check out our winter vacation packages or find a room.
The highest Carolina mountain peaks average 60 inches of snow a year and expert snow makers keep the powder fresh even when Mother Nature does not cooperate. The Asheville area, at a lower elevation, stays relatively snow-free for much of the season. This makes travel easy with little or no snow on the ground.
