If you remember your Western North Carolina geography, you should know where the Mountains of Boone are, and if you like skiing, you’ll be happy to learn about Hawksnest, a ski and snowboard resort. Take a look at this site to discover all the fun activities you can try next winter, buy your tickets and plan your stay using the links to local accommodation (featuring special rates for Hawksnest guests). I was expecting to find early bird discounts, taking into account that the mountain won’t be operating until next December, but they don’t feature any for the time being. Also very cool about the site are the slope maps and webcams, plus there’s a library of media featuring videos and images of the mountain and skiers. A nicely designed site, Hawksnest-Resort.com carries all the information you might need to know what to take with you on your trip, how much rental equipment will cost, learn about ski lessons for individuals or groups, and even plan your corporate event or family reunion.
