Like most parts of the country, this has been quite a winter in the North Carolina High Country. Our local ski industry has had one of the best seasons in recent memory, which makes us look even more forward to the arrival of Spring and the opening of our golf course in May! It won't be long before the snow covered valleys and hills transform into beautifully manicured fairways, and the Rhododendrons and Mtn. Laurel are in full bloom! If you've never experienced a High Country Spring, you've truly missed one of the most spectacular times in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
