I moved to Raleigh, NC recently. Wondering where the best parks are. I think my best bet is to drive into Virginia?

If there are any other freeskiers in the south east, hit me up.

Don't live in NC but my guess is driving to Snowshoe is your best bet for anything decent

Definitely Snowshoe in WV, no question. Forget NC/VA/TN. It's a long drive from Raleigh but worth it compared to your other options.

You can day trip to Wintergreen in VA, which is better than anything I've seen in NC or TN, but it doesn't compare to Snowshoe.

All these replies suck lol. Go to app ski mtn in blowing rock. The head cat driver has built jumps for x games and used to be the head driver at Northstar. Their park is top notch. As far as actual skiing goes beech and sugar are your best bet. But dont expect anything great. You're in NC after all

I feel like Clark Kent exposing himself, but I patrol at Ober.
Park crew does well mixing up rails and features regularly. That said, very small, slow lifts, poorly measured jumps.
Cataloochee and Beech are better options and might be best if Snowshoe is too far for ya.
Hit me up if you ever ride any of the above mentioned three.

Graduated from UNC in 2018. There is a solid scene around Raleigh, although most people I am aware of are affiliated with the surrounding schools in the triangle. As for skiing park, App and Beech are the best by a good margin. IMO cruiser laps are painful everywhere in the south. Snowshoe is worth the haul if you aren't riding park. In the summer, go to Snowflex in Virginia. It's a great time.
