skiing near Raeligh NC?

[Ilivetoski]

Anyone know of any skiing in the Raeligh area? I am near Raleigh visiting family and if possible I would like to get a set in this week. Would be greatly appreciated!

There is a ski lake in Smithfield which is about 20 miles from Raleigh. I have never skied there though. When I am looking for a set I usually drive to Coble's which is about 45 minutes.

@chef23 does cobles still do single sets? I figures they would be too full with campers.

@Ilivetoski since you have been there as a camper it would probably be worth reaching out to April and see if they can fit you in. Usually there is a bit of a cushion on lake 2 where they can squeeze someone in.

OK - first post. I had to sign up to reply to this thread. Magnolia is fantastic. I'm also told that Coble is awesome (going there July 18).

 

Furthermore, everybody should know that we have a (free/open) ski club on Jordan Lake (15-20min from Raleigh) with a couple courses that we set up often. The Facebook club page is here:

John, who manages the page and email list, is very well connected with all the local places (including Magnolia & Coble). He is a fantastic point of contact for anybody in (or visiting) the area. PM me for his contact info. (If I don't reply right away, assume that I'm still waiting for my BallofSpray profile registration to be approved.)
