Today’s featured image is from Ober Gatlinburg a couple of days ago. The Tennessee resort is having a fantastic start to the season.
It is going to be a spectacular start to the weekend.
The sun is shining all across the coverage area and conditions are looking pretty fantastic as we head into the weekend.
It is going to be a busy weekend as we add two resorts to the open list today – Wisp and Wolf Ridge – and add another two to the mix tomorrow as Winterplace and Ski Sapphire Valley will join the mix.
As a cherry on top, Timberline is going to offer a preview weekend on Saturday and Sunday.
All-in-all, it will be a great weekend to hit the slopes if you are able, and next week is looking even better with some cold and even potential natural snow on the way.
