The Newest Ski Resort in the Southeast Is Going To Have You On Cloud 9

A brand-new covered surface lift, a reimagined restaurant menu, and a few things we're not quite ready to announce yet. Here's everything happening at Hatley Pointe right now.


This Week: Installing the Cloudbelt

Under Construction — Debuting Next Season

This week, the crew is hard at work installing the Cloudbelt — a brand-new 400-foot covered magic carpet surface lift that will run from near the base of the mountain, close to Bru Haus, nearly to mid Broadway. What that means for you: a huge stretch of Broadway terrain that was previously only accessible via the Summit Quad is now wide open to riders of all confidence levels. If you've been working up to the aerial lift, this is your on-ramp. And if you're just here to cruise, the Cloudbelt has you covered — literally.

Tennessee Walker Update: More Room to Learn

We're also relocating the magic carpet on the Tennessee Walker bunny slope, opening up an additional 15–20 feet of learning terrain. Getting started at Hatley Pointe just got easier.


A Note from Deb: Spring is Almost Here

Smoke & Timber restaurant at Hatley Pointe

"We just wrapped our very first taste testing of the new spring and summer menu — and y'all, I am not exaggerating when I say this is the most excited I've ever been about a menu. We're putting a real focus on farm-to-table this season, partnering with local farmers and sourcing as much as we can right here from our region. The flavors are bold, the inspiration is Italian and Spanish, and every single dish has a story. From the fresh whipped ricotta to the crispy papas bravas to the Parisian gnocchi — it is a whole new world of flavor. We cannot wait to welcome you back."

Smoke & Timber reopens Friday, May 1st — and if you want to fully experience what we mean by la dolce vita, Mother's Day is the day to do it. We're putting on an immersive brunch experience that includes a full breakfast & lunch buffet, gelato station, live music, Bloody Mary bar, interactive photo ops, and a fresh artisan market to give your mom a gift to remember the day.

Spring Hours: Smoke & Timber opens May 1st, Thursday–Saturday. Lodge open Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm, featuring South Knit & Steeps Coffee.

Where to Stay: Rocky Mountain High

Rocky Mountain High cabin in Scenic Wolf, Mars Hill NC

Featured Stay · Scenic Wolf, Mars Hill NC

Perched at nearly 4,000 feet in the Scenic Wolf community, Rocky Mountain High is a ridgeline log cabin with the kind of views that make you stop mid-sentence. Panoramic 180-degree mountain vistas stretching 70 miles on a clear day — from all three levels. The stone hearth sets the scene inside, and the four-person hot tub on the covered lower deck is where the day ends right. Four bedrooms, three and a half baths, sleeps up to 8, with a recreation room, ping pong table, wet bar, and a fully equipped kitchen. Three minutes from Hatley Pointe. Easy access to the Appalachian Trail, whitewater rafting, and everything the Blue Ridge has to offer.
