The Southeast portion of the United States has a lot to offer the skier and snowboarder. Although southern temperatures make a shorter season, elevation helps promote a good healthy three to four month ski season. Shown below are all ski resorts found in the following states:
Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.
|
The table below is sorted by base elevation in feet above sea level of each ski resort.
The resorts elevation is a good way to determine snow fall and amount.
Keep in mind though that cold pockets can exist much lower in some areas.
Typically the higher the resort elevation the longer the ski season.
Elevation is recorded at the top-most part of each ski resorts skiable area.
