1. Ober Gatlinburg
If you’ve never been to Ober Gatlinburg during the winter season, you have to check it out. From skiing, to tubing, to snowboarding, you have so many fun snow activities to choose from while you’re there. If you’ve never skied or snowboarded before, you don’t have to worry! There are instructors at the resort who give you a lesson before you hit the slopes. For some more fun, take a ride on the Ski Mountain Coaster, where you control your own speed as you zig-zag down the coaster track. You can also step in the huge indoor ice rink for an afternoon of ice skating everyone will love — open year-round! Be sure to go to the Shops at Ober too, where you’ll find the best clothing, outerwear souvenirs and more!
