News from Ski Sapphire!

News: Ski Sapphire Valley

Ski Sapphire Valley is enhancing the Frozen Fall Tube Park with new snow-making equipment. This upgraded technology features increased water flow, enabling operations across a broader temperature range and at higher flow rates than comparable guns. Additionally, the new snow guns are mounted on elevated booms, allowing more time for the atomized water particles to freeze effectively.

These advancements will streamline the snow-making process, enabling the team to produce snow more quickly and efficiently, resulting in more opportunities for skiing, snowboarding, and tubing for guests.

The original snow guns on the beginner slope have also been upgraded to this cutting-edge technology.

Ski Sapphire Valley is set to open on December 14, 2024.

Storm Updates

View this update in full screen mode here: [Sapphire Valley Resort Info]

This will be our last storm specific update. The Sapphire Valley Resort and area faired much better than the areas to our east. Most shops here and in Cashiers/Highlands are operating business as ‘near’ usual. Resort Amenities are open.

Below are two videos showing the catastrophic destruction at nearby Chimney Rock and Swannanoa, NC.  Also, we provide links to additional resources we recommend investigating.
