Most visitors packing their ski’s and coming to Gatlinburg typically end up at Ober Gatlinburg.  However, most visitors are unaware of a another ski area just over the mountains in North Carolina called Cataloochee. 

It's about 55 miles from Gatlinburg with convenient access from highway 321 to Interstate 40, it’s a pretty easy drive.  Certainly a good alternative if you have already spent a few days at Ober Gatlinburg.  Definitely not as convenient, but a great alternative to Ober Gatlinburg.  For those who don’t ski or don’t want to ski, Cataloochee has a dedicated tubing hill with a lift for the tubes and riders.
