Bless your Heart. For real winter, Visit North Carolina.
Florida may have the sunshine, but it's missing the real winter wonders. Lucky for you, North Carolina's mountains are just a quick trip away. Whether you want to try skiing for the first time or cozy up and aprés the NC way, come discover why for more than six decades now, we've been known as the Winter Capital of the South.
North Carolina winters are cool in all the best ways — frosty mornings, mountain views and drinks that just taste better at 3,000 feet. Expect slope-side cabins, twilight ski runs and local breweries where flannel is considered formal.

Bundle up, check trail conditions before heading out and bring a camera — these frozen wonders don’t last forever.
