## About

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains along the Georgia–North Carolina border just under two hours north of Atlanta, Highlands Outpost (formerly Scaly Mountain Outdoor Center) delivers classic high-altitude Appalachian snow sports. The groomed snow tubing hill features a magic carpet conveyor lift that effortlessly whisks tubers to the top of multiple fast, banked snow lanes.

Pint-sized adventurers under 42 inches can enjoy their own dedicated Kiddie Snow Play area, complete with pint-sized tubes, soft snow mounds, and gentle beginner slopes. Families can round out the mountain day with a ride on the Scaly Mountain Screamer alpine coaster or skate on the on-site ice rink.
