Only a couple of hours in your RV or car will get you to one of the best ski resorts in North Carolina. Sapphire Valley Ski Resort is a family-geared Blue Mountain resort that has gorgeous scenery. Even if you're not into skiing, there are other activities to explore year round. These include, golf, tennis, boating, zip lines, and even some shopping for those who are less outdoorsy. Keep in mind skiing is already closed for the 2016-2017 season due to the unseasonably spring-like weather arriving early.

The skiing area in Maggie Valley is considered the top place in the area to go for skiing and snowboarding. There are 18 total slopes that mainly cater to the beginner and intermediate skier. If you are more advanced, only 17 percent of the hills are “black diamond.” Ski rental equipment and lessons are always available during the season. If you aren’t a skier or if you have little ones that might enjoy tubing, there is Tube World nearby in the same resort. Currently they are still open for the 2017 season.
