Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you have to wait until summer to have fun. For families who want to take a skiing adventure this year, Parkside Cabin Rentals has cabins near the only ski resort in Tennessee, Ober Gatlinburg. Since we love the slopes as much as you, we’ve created a list of tips to help families prepare to enjoy winter activities while staying in one of our Gatlinburg cabin rentals.
Clothing
Visitors who plan to ski while in the Smokies should remember to layer. Layering clothes will keep you from losing heat, and, after finishing the run, you can peel away some layers once you're indoors. Waterproof gloves are also important to bring along, and goggles will keep the sun and snow out of your eyes as you speed downhill.
Accommodations
