Abstract:
Tourism has always been popular in the state's mountains, and it dates back to pre-Civil War days. Now skiing has added a new dimension to it, and the tourist season is a year-round activity. Currently there are ten ski resorts in the mountain counties. Although the new activity has affected some local economies, such as new construction and restaurants and stores staying open almost year round, skiing hasn't been a big lift everywhere.

Abstract:
Two artificial-snow runs are scheduled to open around December 15th, hopefully bringing a break-through in western North Carolina's economic growth. The locations of these slides are Blowing Rock, and Cataloochee Ranch on Fietop Mountain. Although both areas experience heavy snowfall, snow-making machinery is being installed to facilitate skiing anytime the weather is freezing.
