Good to know

How many places to stay are within walking distance of the lifts at Appalachian Mountain Ski Area?

We measured 39 places to stay around Appalachian Mountain Ski Area in open map data. None has a walk to a lift we can vouch for; 39 are within 5 miles as the crow flies.

Is Appalachian Mountain Ski Area worth a summer trip?

The map shows 2 trailheads within about 4 miles; Appalachian Ski Mtn Lake 0.1 miles from the main base. Lift-served biking and summer rides depend on the operator's season, so check its site for dates.

How high does Appalachian Mountain Ski Area go?

The highest point on our map is about 3,910 feet, and the lowest lift starts near 3,650 feet, a drop of about 260 feet. Elevations come from the map's terrain model, so treat them as close, not exact.

How do you work out the minutes?

Along a mapped walking route from each place to stay to the bottom station of the nearest chairlift, gondola or tram you can walk to, at an easy pace. Where the map has no route we give the distance as the crow flies instead of minutes. How we measure.
