Author Rob Tanner

Do you like to take to the slopes for skiing? If you live in North Carolina it’s time to head to Banner Elk. The North Carolina City made USA Today’s list of the Top 10 Ski Towns.

We have so much to do in the Carolinas. Some like the beaches, but if you are a winter sports person Banner Elk is a must-do. It just came in at number 6 on the list of the top 10 ski towns. It’s a short drive from anywhere in the Carolinas and offers a terrific experience.

CBS 17 said the entry on 10best.com reads “Banner Elk offers excellent mountain terrain ideal for skiing. Two different ski resorts (Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain) are located within Banner Elk, both of which provide commendable lodging and add to the overall ski experience.”

If you are not a skier, there is plenty more to do. Maybe tubing is your thing? You can take an exhilarating ride down an Alpine Coaster. Or just kick back and do some wine tasting. It’s all waiting in the winter wonderland of Banner Elk, North Carolina.

It seems like the winter weather is here to stay. YAY! I’m glad it’s cooling down and if you’re into skiing and/or tubing, you’re probably glad too! Tubing is something I’ve never done on snow, and I would really like to try. I have gone skiing and it’s definitely not my thing. Of course, I’ve had three knee surgeries so I’m skiing isn’t the sport for me. LOL!
