North Carolina Home to Two of America’s Most Windiest Roads

Author Randi Moultrie
November 17th, 2022 11:31 AM

Ever driven on a road where you feel like the wind is about to take you and your car? I never can tell if it is because I am tiny and drive a sedan or if it’s the wind. That is very intense for me for sure! I hate driving on super windy days where I can literally feel the wind rocking my car and my body inside the car. That is one of the most heart-throbbing things for me. I am almost terrified of car accidents, so anything that is fighting against me driving smoothly, I strongly dislike!

Only In Your State names the top windiest roads in America and I am taking note of where to stay away from. These roads look the part windy and creepy for sure. But, they are saying that these roads are bucket list roads for “fun.” Not sure who would ever want to drive on these, but hey have at it. Two of the roads are right here in North Carolina. The first one is Cherohala Skyway running through North Carolina and Tennessee. This is a beautiful route that has way too many curves for me. Through the entire 43 miles, there are over 300 curves through the entire roadway. Excuse me, do you know how crucial those curves are? Next, there is The Dragon in North Carolina. The Dragon is located on the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. It is an 11-mile stretch strongly known for its curves. The view is great and enjoyable, but the curves and leans are something serious! Guess I know what roadways I will be staying away from.

Check out the full article here and see what other roadways made the list. Either you are heading towards them or you are staying away. Have fun!

Five North Carolina Ski Resorts That Aren't Too Far From Charlotte

It seems like the winter weather is here to stay. YAY! I’m glad it’s cooling down and if you’re into skiing and/or tubing, you’re probably glad too! Tubing is something I’ve never done on snow, and I would really like to try. I have gone skiing and it’s definitely not my thing. Of course, I’ve had three knee surgeries so I’m skiing isn’t the sport for me. LOL! If you love to frolic in the snow, Charlotte Five has a list of five awesome North Carolina ski resorts that aren’t too far of a drive.

Most ski resorts in the North Carolina mountains open in mid-to-late November. Though significant amounts of snow may not fall when the season begins, temperatures fall enough to make weather conditions ideal for skiing, snowboarding, tubing and more on artificial snow. If you enjoy any or all of those activities, here are five places to check out this winter.

  • Appalachian Ski Mountain

    Pack a bag and get ready because Appalachian Ski Mountain opens on November 18, which is this weekend! This snow sport resort has been opened since the 60’s and it’s the second oldest in the state of North Carolina. Slope hours: 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 9 a.m.-midnight, Fridays and Saturdays

  • Sugar Mountain Resort

    As a kid, my family went to Sugar Mountain. The first and only time I tried to ski was at Sugar Mountain. I ended up on my butt real quick! LOL! But the trips were fun! The resort has over 20 slopes and has night skiing. Opening date is dependent on the weather.

  • Beech Mountain Resort

    If you like a thrill, then you need to check out Beech Mountain Resort. They have the highest ski slopes in the eastern U.S. If you don’t know how to ski or snowboard, this resort offers lessons in both. And they also offer more than 50 features for freestyle skiers. Their opening day is set for November 19.

  • Wolf Ridge Ski Resort

    I’ll be honest, I’ve never heard of Wolf Ridge. It’s about 30 minutes north of Asheville is. It’s a family-oriented resort that offers beginner and expert slopes. The resort also provides a top-rated snow sports school that provides lessons to all winter sports enthusiasts, regardless of skill level. Very cool! It’s good to learn first so you don’t end up on your butt like me! LOL!

  • Cataloochee Ski Area

    Located in Maggie Valley, Cataloochee Ski Area offers lots of slopes and trails that are beginner level. And this resort has you covered if you need gear! Their rental department offers more than 4,000 sets of ski and snowboard equipment. And if you check out their website, it looks like they have some amazing tubing slopes! They open November 16, which is tomorrow, so you can plan a trip asap!
