For being east coast, its my favorite local NC mountain. They groom twice a day so its always possible to hit a groomed run. Very family friendly and a decent variety of terrain difficulty. I really like the setup and its decent quality for being a small resort. The lifts are decent but lines get really long on the weekends. Recommend night snowboarding!! Or weekdays.
