Ober Mountain is a popular place in the winter! It’s the only ski resort in Tennessee, bringing people from all over the country to enjoy the slopes and other winter activities. You probably have wondered what all you can enjoy doing at Ober Mountain in the winter. Here are the top 5 things to do this winter at Ober Mountain:
1. Skiing and Snowboarding
Some of the most popular activities during winter at Ober Mountain are skiing and snowboarding! The slopes at Ober Mountain are great for experienced riders, as well as beginners or even people who have no experience. You can actually take beginner lessons for skiing and snowboarding if it's your first time. Ober also has equipment you can rent if you don’t own any. A unique feature of Ober Mountain’s ski and snowboard slope is since Tennessee doesn’t always get enough snow to maintain the trails, snow is made so guests can still enjoy these activities! There are quite a few trails you can ride. To keep up with information on the slopes, check out the slope report!
2. Snow Tubing
Want to take it easy but still have fun in the snow? Try snow tubing this winter at Ober Mountain! Man made snow is compacted onto the hill where guests slide down. To get to the top of the hill, you’ll ride up using the Magic Carpet. This conveyor belt takes you and your tube up the hill where you can then slide down as many times as you want! It’s a great activity for kids and adults to enjoy any time during the winter.
3. Family Snow Zone
If your kids are too small to go skiing or snowboarding or just want to play in the snow, take them to the Family Snow Zone! They’ll have fun running around making snow angels or snowmen. Small children enjoy just playing in the snow! Kids 6 years and under must be accompanied by an adult in the Family Snow Zone.
4. Ice Skating
Although the ice skating rink is indoors and you can enjoy it any time of the year, it’s a great winter activity! You can stick with the winter theme and keep your coat and other accessories on while you skate around the ice rink with your family and friends. The rink is fairly large. It is designed for beginner skaters as well as experienced skaters. There’s a handrail around the perimeter if you aren’t so sure on your feet at first.
