Cataloochee Ski Area :: Maggie Valley :: North Carolina | Maggie Valley, North Carolina

^Honorable mention: Cataloochee Ski Area, NC (Elev. 5,400 ft.)

North Carolina and West Virginia are home to the highest lift-serviced skiing east of The Mississippi River. I know, that came as a shock to me as well.

Clearly peak elevation does not equate to the best skiing, but it’s still a fun stat to look at.
