What They Say About Themselves!
 Ober Gatlinburg
is a resort within a resort...within
a resort town! The ski area is
located on the pinnacle of Mt.
Harrison, surrounded by a mountain
of four season fun. Located at the
foot of the ski area is an Alpine
Slide, Wildlife Encounter, Water
Raft Rides, Spider Web, Bungee Run,
Amaze'n Maze, Chair Swing, Kiddie Land, Arcade and more! There's a 62,000 square foot Tramway Mall, which hosts a beautiful ice skating rink, shops, dining and more.
All of this is located three miles up Ski Mountain Road from downtown Gatlinburg. You can also take The Ober Gatlinburg Aerial Tramway which is one of America's largest cable cars.
It departs every twenty minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, going directly to Ober
Gatlinburg All Seasons Amusement
Park atop Mt. Harrison, and offers a magnificent panorama of Gatlinburg and the Smokies.
For those unaware, Gatlinburg is in the heart of the popular Great Smoky Mountains and the resort town offers thousands of shops, festivals, and fun for the whole family.
...And then there's the ski resort.
After all, that's what this page is supposed to be about, right?
 In the true spirit of a real mountain community,
Ober Gatlinburg Resort is outstanding in its approach to genuine hospitality, sensible pricing and comfortable accommodation. Stay close to the slopes in

Ober Gatlinburg
has nine ski trails serviced by two quads, one double and one surface lift
and a Terrain Park. Snowmaking equipment blankets 100 percent of the slopes. They offer the
Gatlinburg Snowsports Center, rentals, retail ski shop,
restaurant, snack bars, a food court, cafe, and lounge.
We even have an exciting Snow Tubing
Park serviced by a Magic Carpet that
offers 300 feet of exhilaration over
a 50 foot vertical drop!
Slopes are maintained with the latest in snow-grooming equipment to provide a smoother, more consistent surface, creating enjoyable skiing conditions.
What's New for 2011-2012!
Things just
keep getting better at Ober
Gatlinburg! Ober Gatlinburg's
commitment to excellence brings some
exciting new things to the table
this year. Expect some serious snow
in the Terrain Park this year as all
snowmaking pipes were replaced prior
to last season.
The
Terrain Park will also feature
double the number of rails and boxes
and this season expect more table
tops and spines! The folks at Ober
Gatlinburg also replaced the Red
Lift cable and expanded and regraded
the Ski School area.
If you're renting equipment
during your next trip to Ober
Gatlinburg, the rental fleet has
expanded this year! The Rental Shop
has added 50 new HEAD snowboards
with rocker technology, 100 pairs of
freestyle bindings, 120 pairs of
snowboard boots and 50 pairs of HEAD
BYS Skis!
We
have added a brand new Prinoth BR350
Sherpa winch snowcat to our grooming
fleet.
This cat has the latest in
trial groom technology and will give
our customers a great skiing surface
all winter!
We've added a new retaining wall
between Ski School and the Black
Lift and created a new DELI called "LeConte
Deli"!
 Snow making system upgrades continue
this year. In addition to adding and
replacing snow making pipe on Cub
Way, we are also increasing our snow
making capacity by rebuilding one of
our holding ponds. This will
increase our overall water storage
capacity to around 12,000,000
gallons!
We are also continuing to improve
our Ice Arena with a new cooling
system that was implemented over the
summer. This will make for an even
better, more efficient ice rink!
We have upgraded the boot storage
for the snowboard rental area. Our
new racks now dry the boots as the
are being stored. This leads to
happier feet for our snowboarders!
We have also added new features to
our terrain park. This year we add a
24' flat box, 24' double barrel flat
rail, and a 10' pole jam to our
fleet of rails and boxes. We have
also salvaged 2 oil drums and turned
them into bonks. Our total jib count
is up to 11 now!
Après Ski?As mentioned above, Ober Gatlinburg could have perhaps the best Après Ski choices with thousands of shops, restaurants and night life. While downtown Gatlinburg is a bit more lively in the Spring, Summer and Autumn, there's plenty to do all year long.
