SNOWBOARDING

Snowboarding at Hatley Pointe in Mars Hill, NC, delivers a refreshing and modern mountain experience that feels different from many other regional resorts. The terrain is approachable and fun, offering a smooth blend of beginner, intermediate, and advanced runs that make it easy for riders of all levels to enjoy the mountain together. Grooming is consistently clean, the snowmaking is strong thanks to recent upgrades, and the overall layout feels intuitive and rider-friendly. Because the resort is more compact than the larger mountains in the state, snowboarders spend more time carving and less time navigating long lift lines or crowded base areas, creating a smoother, more relaxed day on the snow.

What truly sets Hatley Pointe apart is its boutique atmosphere and its recent redevelopment, which gives the resort a clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed feel. New ownership has invested heavily in improving infrastructure, comfort, and guest experience—from revamped facilities to upgraded snowmaking and lifts. The vibe on the mountain is welcoming and upbeat, with a focus on quality over quantity, making it an ideal spot for riders who want a polished, well-run resort without losing the charm of a smaller mountain. Hatley Pointe combines convenience, comfort, and strong on-snow performance, standing out as a unique and elevated snowboarding destination in the North Carolina mountains.
