Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort in Gatlinburg, Tennessee:

Area Description:

Ober Gatlinburg is a resort, within a resort...within a resort town!  The ski area is located on the pinnacle of Mt. Harrison, surrounded by a mountain of four season fun. Located at the foot of the ski area is an Alpine Slide, a 60 feet Bungee Tower, Municipal Black Bear Habitat, Go-Kart Track, Water Rides, Spider Web, Bungee Run, Batting Cage, Kiddie Land, Arcade and more! There's a 62,000 sq. foot Tramway Mall, which hosts a beautiful ice skating rink, shops, dining and more.

All of this is located three miles up Ski Mountain Road from downtown Gatlinburg.  You can also take The Ober Gatlinburg Aerial Tramway which is one of America's largest cable cars that departs every twenty minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, going directly to Ober Gatlinburg All Seasons Amusement Park atop Mt. Harrison, offering a magnificent panorama of Gatlinburg and the Smokies.

For those unaware, Gatlinburg is in the heart of the popular Great Smoky Mountains and the resort town offers thousands of shops, festivals, and fun for the whole family.
