Unless you are heading north for the holidays, the only White Christmas in the High Country is going to take place on the ski slopes. “Fortunately for the ski areas,” RaysWeather.com noted in a forecast discussion earlier this week, “it will be just cold enough to keep snow on the slopes.”
Appalachian Ski Mtn. is opening for Christmas Day for the first time ever, and ASM General Manager Brad Moretz said the resort is using the day as a fundraiser for a first aid ski patrol facility. Last year, ASM used the Easter holiday, which it normally isn’t open on either, to raise funds for the Middle Fork Greenway project.
