NC Ski Resorts Open for the 2012-13 Season

With NC Ski Slopes reliant on snowmaking machines rather than natural snow for a sufficient skiing base, the weather always determines opening times for the NC Ski Resorts. The recent cold snap has allowed snowmaking and four of the six NC Ski areas now have enough accumulation for skiing and tubing.
