Did you know that here in Gatlinburg we have top-notch skiing? Ober Gatlinburg is currently (as of 2/11/11) boasting a 50" to 72" base with all four of their ski lifts open AND all nine trails open, too.

Did you also know that AOL travel voted Ober Gatlinburg one of

The Top 10 Ski Destinations in the U.S.?

Here's how they put it:

"High above Gatlinburg, Tennessee is a mountaintop resort featuring nine whitewashed trails. The snowmaking system at Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort produces enough white stuff to please snow bunnies of all abilities. With an amusement park, an aerial tram that sets off from downtown Gatlinburg, and fantastic views of the Great Smoky Mountains, its easy to see why this is one of the top ski destinations in the country."
