SO, WHEN IS SKI SEASON? On average, we OPEN the slopes in EARLY TO MID DECEMBER and CLOSE in EARLY TO MID MARCH. Exact opening and closing dates for the ski slopes are determined by Mother Nature … Never the same dates from one ski season to the next … and usually not predictable until just days in advance.
WILL BE UPDATED in Early December

COMMENTS
As you see above, opening day for the 2018/2019 ski season is impossible to predict. As soon as a weather pattern suitable for significant Snow Making is in the forecast, you’ll see updates here on this page.
Snow Tubing will open for daily operation starting Saturday November 17th, 2018. This is possible thanks to our “Snow Magic” refrigerated snow making system … please look HERE for more about snow making.
There are many other activities on the mountain, including our new Ski Mountain Coaster, scenic chairlift and indoor ice skating, just to name a few. Add in some great shopping and dining, and you’ve got a full day of fun at Ober Gatlinburg. Please look HERE for current openings and schedules.
