  • Hawksnest Ski Resort - Seven Devils, Boone, North Carolina

    (info From Ski Southeast.com)

    Hawksnest is one of the latest additions to the list of "lost ski areas" and much could be written about the story. The resort opened in 1966 and we could write a BOOK about the growth, rise and fall of one of the local favorite ski areas.

    SkiNC documented much of the fight between the Cottoms who own the resort area and the Seven Devils Town Hall. The area now operates as a zip line and snow tubing hill. It closed for good in July of 2008. see: http://skinc.com/article.php?article=2235

    The little ski area was only 20 acres, but what it lacked in size it made up for in terms of a friendly skiing experience. The ski resort had 4 lifts and 12 trails. They offered night skiing until 4am at one point and that made for some great times.
