Located in Blowing Rock, NC, Appalachian Ski Mountain is the smallest in the area --but that doesn't mean it is short on things to do.<br />
<br />
Originally opened in the winter of 1962 under the name Blowing Rock Ski Lodge, it was the first ski area in Northwestern North Carolina. The area consisted of a 12,000 square foot base lodge and three slopes serviced by two rope tows and a T-bar. Appalachian Ski Mountain officially got it's beginning Dec. 4, 1968.<br />
<br />
Today the resort has 12 slopes (3 easiest, 6 more difficult, 3 most difficult) serviced by two Quad lifts and one double lift with a total hourly capacity of 5,764. There are also two conveyor lifts and one handle-pull tow. The mountain is fully covered with lights for night skiing and has 100% snow making coverage.The peak elevation is 4000' with a base elevation of 3635'. Check out the <a href="http://www.appskimtn.com/about-us/trail-map/" target="_blank">trail map</a> for more information.<br />

<span style="line-height: 152%;">Oh...we couldn't forget to tell you about the <b>free</b> sledding. Although it isn't part of the resort, The town of Beech Mountain has a wonderful sledding hill for the kids (sorry parents you will have to stick to the slopes, although it's okay to help smaller ones along). </span>The hill is even outfitted with its own snow-making machines!</div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #e76a17;">The Valle Crucis Punkin Festival marks
its sixth year in 2011. It was founded in 2006 as a kid-friendly event
tied to the harvest season. Although it is a small festival, it is big
on fun – starting with the name. The organizers chose the name “simply
because it’s a lot more fun than pumpkin”.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #e76a17;">Kids are invited to participate in all
kinds of old-fashioned games like Apple Bob (bobbing for apples hanging
from a string), Hoop-La (can you hook the ring?), Punkin Sack Races (try
to do that without laughing), and Dog Bowl In (get the ball to stay in
one of the dog bowls). Everyone can get their face painted and enjoy
food, of course. In addition, kids and their parents have an artistic
outlet to carve their Jack ‘o Lanterns with no muss and no fuss.
Festival volunteers “cut and gut” the pumpkins for you! Proceeds from
the day go to the Western Youth Network (WYN), a non-profit group
serving youth and families in Ashe, Avery, and Watauga Counties and the
Valle Crucis Elementary School Parent Teacher Student Association. That
leads right into one of the event’s theme: Carving for a Cause.</span></div>
