Abstract:

The first ski slopes opened in western North Carolina, drawing huge crowds despite little outside publicity. Opened at Cataloochee Ranch near Waynesville, the Alexanders installed two runs fed by snow-making machines. So far, the ranch has installed no winter over-night accommodations, but a large, sturdy barn was transformed into a handsome lounge for skiers.
