Wolf Ridge Ski Resort, Mars Hill, North Carolina:
What They Say About Themselves!
When you ski or snowboard at Wolf Ridge Ski Resort you'll
enjoy unmatched views, crisp mountain air, well-groomed slopes
and some new places to explore at Western North Carolina's
top-rated ski slope.
There is something for everyone from beginner to expert at this
family-oriented resort now with expanded terrain, a new terrain
park, new 1/2 mile trail and quad lift!
Area Description:
Wolf Ridge Ski Resort is a family-oriented resort that has
undergone perhaps the largest growth and changes in North
Carolina. In addition to a name change from what was formerly
known as Wolf Laurel Ski Area, the resort has expanded this year
with 15 additional acres of ski terrain, a new Quad Lift and a
new Terrain Park. That 15 additional acres takes Wolf
Ridge Ski Resort to 82 total acres of terrain on which to ride!
...and it doesn't appear that "The Wolf" is going to stand pat
with these upgrades! They are already announcing that by the
beginning of the 2007-2008 season they will be offering 30
ADDITIONAL acres of ski slopes and trails and 1.5 miles of
additional ski runs! As if that's not enough, they are also
adding another scenic double lift to their lift system!
For Great Après-ski Fun:
The food service at Wolf Ridge has been expanded as well, with
three convenient places to eat on the mountain - the Grill at
the Lower Lodge, The Lodge Steak & Ribs at the Upper Lodge and a
small grill in the Breakaway Village area.
While on the mountain you can warm to a crackling fire at either
of their large rustic lodges with plenty of room for your family
and gear! Both lodges offer massive stone fireplaces.
The Upper Wolf Ridge Lodge easily accommodates families and
walk-ins. The Lower Wolf Ridge Lodge easily accommodates
the many groups that call Wolf Ridge Ski Resort a favorite!
The Easiest Access –
Wolf Ridge Ski Resort is North Carolina’s most accessible ski slope.
You won’t find miles and miles of two lane roads and harrowing
curves – the resort located just 5 miles from I-26 (exit 3) and
just 30 minutes from Asheville, North Carolina.
Wolf Ridge has also made access to the mountain easy with three
places to park, purchase lift tickets and rent equipment. The
resort offers great terrain for beginners to advanced skiers and
snowboarders. Visitors will also enjoy the two rustic lodges at
Wolf Ridge with large fireplaces and room to relax. There are
also 3 places to eat at the resort including The Lodge Steak &
Rib Restaurant – well-known for their great rib and steak
selections and unmatched sunset views.
