Appalachian is a cool place during the week for college kids but unsafe on the weekends and holidays. It's a lot of beginners from Florida making a mess of the place. The lessons are great. The food is mediocre. No apres ski at all.

This is a really small mountain that on certain days can get really busy, meaning long line for a run that takes 30 seconds. With this said this is one of the best mountains in NC to learn on.
