The weather has turned in favor of Tennessee Skiers and Snowboarders! Ober Gatlinburg is happy to announce the opening of Tennessee’s only Ski and Snowboard Area tomorrow, Friday at Noon.

Mogul Ridge, Upper Bear, Cub Way, Castle Run, Ski School and Terrain Park will all open with a 12”-24” base. Ober Gatlinburg snowmakers have been busy this past week and continue to make snow whenever temperatures allow.

New automated snowmaking technology allows snowmakers to adjust water and air pressure remotely on several snow guns to optimize snowmaking output. For those who are interested in learning to ski or snowboard, the Magic Carpet conveyor lift on the Ski School slope is one of Ober Gatlinburg’s latest additions which ease new participants into snowsports.

For the most up-to-date information, please check the slope report on Ober Gatlinburg’s website. For information on Ober Gatlinburg COVID-19 protocols visit the COVID-19 FAQ page. Face Coverings are required in all indoor areas, slope lift lines, the Aerial Tramway, and the Tubing Park.
