Appalachian Ski Mountain

[@Deej422]

Omg bro I’m getting chills. I went here as a kid with my perfect parents when I lived in blowing rock. The nostalgia is overwhelming me. Would like to see a video from the 90s but this is good. Omg I miss those days I’m tearing up. I miss my dad

Aww I’m glad you enjoyed it. I hope you can come across some of those old videos! Thanks for watching!

When I lived in Charlotte I would take day or weekend trips there. I think night skiing there is the best--not as crowded and about the same temperature as daytime. I do miss it and I look at the webcam often.

Wow, so much has changed. We didn't have the online reservations and lift tickets. I'm sure a recharge station is a must have now. Appal used to be blue top to bottom. Your kids are great skiers and you were there to coach them. I went to the ski school to learn how to use my new shaped skis.

So interesting the changes! It’s amazing what fast learners kids are. Meanwhile I’m behind them trying not to bust it! I can see how it would be a great place for day trips. We really enjoyed it!

This is hands down the best skiing in nc

[@PeachyKeenes]

Yes we were super impressed with their cleanliness and the way they ran things. Perfect place for families or beginner skiers!

[@howwefindhappy]

Your kids are great skiers! Looks like a fun place!

[@PeachyKeenes]

Aww thank you. They caught on pretty quick but as you could tell from my yelling it still scared me 😂

[@howwefindhappy]

@@PeachyKeenes Yes! I was laughing when you were yelling at the little one.

[@eadecamp]

I see the little building you go through before the parking lot. Please tell me they're not charging for parking now?

[@PeachyKeenes]

I remember that stand but I honestly can’t remember if we had to pay to park. I don’t think we did but now that you asked that I’m questioning it. I don’t think we did though. Might just want to check their site to see 😉

Thank You PK, your video did tell me what I needed to know regarding crowds and family fun on ski slopes. My question to you... As I am considering buying a cabin near by, would you buy at this resort area or someplace else? I do intend to rent out said cabin, and use it as well now and then. Summer activities are also important to me, not just (winter family fun). Thank you for your opinion.

We are headed here for first time this video was great to watch with my family to get an idea ty. What are you recording with? I would love to capturev some footage. Do you recommend classes ?

[@PeachyKeenes]

Hi Julie. How fun! I hope you guys have a wonderful time! I’m so happy you found the video helpful. I was just recording with my iPhone. It’s a little tricky doing it while you ski but doable 😂. I can’t speak to the lessons specifically at Appalachian but we’ve found lessons helpful for our kids in the past (especially when they are stubborn 😁). We had our oldest two take them when we went skiing for the first time in Wisconsin. Our youngest hasn’t had lessons but my husband is a great skier so since we wanted to stay together as a family he just taught him. So if no one knows how to ski I would definitely suggest lessons even if just for a 1/2 day to get down the basics. Totally up to you though and what works best for your family dynamics. Sorry that was chatty 😁. Hope ya’ll have a wonderful time ❤️
