escape to north carolina’s
high country for an active
weekend getaway
Contact local resources for information about
outfitters and lodging — from hotels to cabins to
the upscale spa at Westglow Resort. Ski resorts
offer a number of lodging packages too. The High
Country offers a variety of casual and fine dining
d
d
restaurants, including three 2012 Best Dish
in North Carolina winners. And on rainy days,
tourism experts can steer you toward shopping, art
museums, history and more.
“You can always call ahead and check the conditions
e
of the roads,” Morrison says. “They do keep
the roads very clear all the way to the ski resorts.”
Sugar Mountain Resort’s seven lifts can move more
than 8,000 people per hour.
