There are three lifts, including two quad lifts, one double lift, and one surface lift.

Private and group lessons for skiing and snowboarding are also available through the Smokey Mountain Snow Sport School. You can also easily find food at the many snack-bars, food carts, the café, the restaurant, or in the lounge.You must not miss the longest chair lift ride in the south! You will see awesome views of the Great Smoky Mountains. You will also get a bird's eye view of some of the slopes, and you can have your picture taken on top of the mountain. If you don't ski, don't worry! You can ride back down the mountain on the chair lift as well. Don't forget the Tramway.

The tramway departs from downtown Gatlinburg and takes you to the ski resort and the amusement park.Even if you don't ski, you can still explore the thrill of flying down a mountain at a high speed ? or a slow speed if you choose. This is possible with the Alpine Slide. The slide is approximately 1800 feet long, and takes you down a winding wooded slope.

You have total control over your speed with the use of a braking device on each sled. Other attractions at the amusement park include the Black Bear Habitat, a bungee jump, a water race, go karts, indoor ice skating, kiddy land, an arcade, miniature golf, a Spider Web Velcro Wall Jump, water rides and a shooting range.No matter what type of fun or adventure you are seeking, there is something to satisfy everyone in the family at Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort and Amusement Park.
