Grand Father Mountain | Our State TV

Today I was wandering around on the web and discovered the UNCTV YouTube Channel. This video from Our State TV about my favorite mountain begged to be shared. Enjoy.

Since I’ve missed a trip to the NC Mountains in 2011 this YouTube Channel will have to serve as a virtual mountain dream reminder till I can return to the mountains I love.

Winter: A “Secret Season” in the South’s Loftiest National Parks | National Parks Traveler

North Carolina High Country

The High Country corner of northwestern North Carolina is a hotbed of Nordic ski enthusiasm. The High Country Nordic Association is sponsoring its annual Tele-Fest January 21st at Beech Mountain Resort, the East’s highest ski area and one of three downhill slopes in the area.

The college town of Boone and the resort towns of Blowing Rock and Banner Elk are the destinations. Granted, expert local skiers focus on the East’s highest summits, Mount Mitchell and Roan Mountain, both well over 6,000 feet. But the Parkway has a wealth of ski options when the snow cooperates.
