In 1974, the Gatlinburg Ski Resort began to go out of business due to publicity from a bad lift accident.

[3] In 2012, the resort installed a snowmaking system, which allows them to open earlier in the season, before natural snow occurs.

The tubing hill is serviced by a magic carpet, as is the ski school slope.

Animals native to the Great Smoky Mountains, including black bears, are available for viewing.
