Elsket det her, flott system sammenlignet med Sugar og Beech, nesten aldri noen heislinjer

Jeg er en ekspert på ski med over 30 års erfaring fra over 20 forskjellige skisteder. Jeg var imponert over dette skistedet for det velorganiserte systemet for billettsalg, skap og utleie, og snøkvaliteten. Jeg anbefaler dette stedet på det sterkeste, spesielt for familier med små barn, de som sjelden kjører ski/snowboard, eller alle som ikke trenger ekspertbakkene. Dette var aller første gang jeg tok med barna mine (4 og 7 år) på ski. Når jeg ser tilbake på min egen erfaring da jeg var på deres alder, var jeg bekymret for hvor mye de ville kose seg. Bekymringene mine var unødvendige. Et veldig velorganisert system og hyggelig personale gjorde det enkelt å gå gjennom alle utleieområdene og skap. De lærte til og med min 4 år gamle datter hvordan man bruker støvler! Jeg kan ikke sette mer pris på servicen deres. I bakken ga en utmerket snøkvalitet med mildt vær oss den beste opplevelsen. Snøkvaliteten var langt over forventningene mine, spesielt med tanke på at det for det meste kom fra snøproduksjon. Snøen deres var mye bedre enn mange skisteder med for det meste natursnø som jeg har opplevd. Sønnen min (7 år) lærte raskt snøplogsvinger i nybegynnerbakken med transportbåndet og avanserte til de mellomliggende bakkene (Strudel og Orchard Run) innen utgangen av dag 1, og deretter den vanskeligste bakken (øvre Big Appal) innen dag 2. RFID-en deres og skanneren ved inngangen til bakken var veldig effektiv og gjorde alt enkelt. Vi trengte ikke å skanne ved heisstasjonene. Til slutt ligger anlegget nær Boone og Blowing Rock og har mange overnattingsmuligheter med rimelige priser, spesielt sammenlignet med andre skisteder i North Carolina. Vi satte mye mer pris på ASM, spesielt etter vårt nylige besøk til Sugar Moutain Resort, som hadde utdaterte fasiliteter og ikke fullt så hyggelig personale med uorganiserte heisstasjoner og parkering. Jada, dette er et lite skisted med den lengste løypa på bare ~0,8 km uten en virkelig ekspertbakke. Så jeg kan ikke anbefale ASM for grupper med kun ekspertskiløpere. Men for familier og nybegynnere er dette et ideelt sted å starte. Selv de med mellomliggende ferdigheter (lære parallelle svinger) vil ha mye glede av det.

Jeg har tatt med meg de eldre tenåringsguttene mine på snowboard her flere ganger, og det er alltid en flott opplevelse. Sist gang vi var der var i januar 2024. Parkering er veldig enkelt, men du må reservere på forhånd. Dette fungerer utmerket for å kontrollere folkemengdene. Utmerkede skap, og de leier ut vinterklær hvis du trenger det. Det hjelper også at dette er det nærmeste feriestedet til hjemmet vårt i Raleigh. Personalet har alltid vært vennlig, og de elektroniske passene er flotte! Vi har vært på nærliggende Sugar Mountain, som har lengre løyper, men jeg foretrekker App. Det har en flott atmosfære, og selv når det er fullt, er ikke ventetiden for lang.

I love taking my kids here!

Based on a recommendation from someone at another ski resort we visited App Mountain. we were so glad we did. It was such an enjoyable day. From reserving tickets and rentals to the lift lines, trails and cafeteria TOP NOTCH. we had a rough day at Beech mountain yesterday but happy with our time at App. Employees were friendly, COVID restrictions were adhered to. Highly recommend and will visit again.

I had a great day at Appalachian resort today. I hadn't been skiing for several years and am now over 65, so I was a little nervous about getting back on the slopes. Online reservations were very easy. The staff providing the rental equipment were friendly and helpful. And the fellow at the lift near the blue Strudel slope (his name was Ben) was so enthusiastic towards every person riding the lift, cheering everyone on to have a fun run. It made me laugh each time and helped me have a fun day. The resort did a good job managing the issues around Covid, requiring masks and limiting the number of people inside. Snow conditions were as good as could be expected, with the ups and downs of the temperatures. There was an adequate amount of manmade snow on the slopes.

Amazing experience! Great for kids and beginners- probably good for experienced skiers too but we're not there yet so can't comment! Great ski teachers, friendly staff, plenty of parking and restrooms, good rental equipment, cheap locker rental. Good snowmaking, magic carpet lifts to bunny slopes. Didn't feel too crowded even on holiday weekend. We bought tickets online which gave us an extra hour, and getting set up with our equipment was fast and easy! Great experience, can't wait to come back next year!

This resort is very nice. The people are friendly. They do a great job at snow making and grooming. The entire place is well-kept (unlike the other 2 resorts in the area). Parking lot is nice and easy. A very pleasant place. You can tell that the owners want you to have a good experience.

We went skiing to ASM for the first time last week. I felt that the slopes and snow quality were decent considering it's North Carolina. The ski school was ok - I took two private lessons which were good, my toddler did the ski school on two separate days (a Fri and a holiday Sat which turned out to be busy so she didn't get so much actual skiing in). We decided to book to go back in Feb. We thought a ski & stay package would offer financial incentives and/or convenience. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer either and the ski & stay package agents refuse to admit that. Within less than 24 hours of booking, I realized that they didn't give us the best available lodging rate (booking with the lodge directly would have been cheaper). I called and they told me I could cancel and re-book for a 10% fee... I escalated our case to a manager and she was quite unprofessional and used poor language. For example, she gave me a lecture on how Americans need to walk more when I complained that, once on the mountain, I now have to go to their office before checking in for ski school which is a hassle with a toddler and all the gear in tow. As another example, she actually told me that my frustrations and complains were "ludicrous". Next time, I plan to book everything separately and not deal with the bad service.

WARNING: Appalachian Ski Mountain engages in DECEPTIVE MARKETING PRACTICES! Since my kids have been begging to see snow (we live in Florida) I decided to take them to a ski resort in North Carolina after our visit to friends in Georgia. Being on a tight budget I looked at rates and saw that I could save money by buying half-day lift tickets. Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain both had half-day tickets (as do all the ski resorts I ever remember skiing at when I lived out west). Appalachian Ski did not, but their 2018-2019 rates brochure said that they had a “4-hour early return option” and that if you return to the cashier before the four hours were up they would give you an App Ski Mtn. debit card. Since we were visiting a friend in Boone and Appalachian was closer, I decided to take my kids there. After renting ski clothes first I’m about to buy the tickets when I am informed that I do not get any money back when returning my gear within four hours. Instead I get credit that is good for lift ticket and ski rentals only! Since I’m 45 minutes away from the other ski resorts and I’ve already rented the clothing (and had no extra time) I was stuck! I bought the tickets and let my kids learn how to ski. As far as customer service goes, I felt that their method of enticement on a half-day option was very deceptive. When the standard practice of MOST other ski resorts is to offer half-day tickets why does Appalachian Ski Mountain offer debit cards and then make them usable ONLY for use for their lift tickets and rentals?!!! Even if I could have used the debit card in the cafeteria or the gift shop it would have helped! Not very customer friendly. I’ll never go their again!
