Area Description
Wolf Ridge Ski Resort is a family-oriented resort. Wolf Ridge was formerly known as Wolf Laurel Ski Area.
…And it doesn’t appear that “The Wolf” is going to stand pat with these upgrades! They have recently expanded, and now offer 15 ADDITIONAL acres of ski slopes and trails! As if that weren’t enough, they have also added a new quad lift, a new terrain park and much more!
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 is located just 5 miles from I-26 (exit 3) and just 30 minutes from Asheville, North Carolina.
The resort offers great terrain for beginners to advanced skiers and snowboarders, and those who enjoy Mars Hill Snow Tubing.
