Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.

The table below is sorted by Vertical Drop in feet of each ski resort. Vertical Drop is this the amount of elevation in feet from the bottom to the top of each ski resort. In most cases, a higher vertical drop means a steeper ski slope.
