Area Description

Wolf Ridge ResortWolf Ridge Ski Resort is a family-oriented resort that has undergone perhaps the largest growth and changes in North Carolina. In addition to a name change (they were formerly known as Wolf Laurel Ski Area), the resort has expanded this year with 15 additional acres of ski terrain, a new Quad Lift and a new Terrain Park. That 15 additional acres takes Wolf Ridge Ski Resort to 82 total acres of terrain on which to ride!

...And it doesn't appear that "The Wolf" is going to stand pat with these upgrades! They have recently expanded, and now offer 15 ADDITIONAL acres of ski slopes and trails! As if that weren't enough, they have also added a new quad lift, a new terrain park and much more!



For Great Après-ski Fun

The food service at Wolf Ridge has been expanded as well, with two convenient places to eat on the mountain—the Grill at the Lower Lodge and The Lodge Steak & Ribs at the Upper Lodge.

While on the mountain, you can warm up to a crackling fire at either of their large rustic lodges with plenty of room for your family and gear! Both lodges offer massive stone fireplaces. The Upper Wolf Ridge Lodge easily accommodates families and walk-ins. The Lower Wolf Ridge Lodge easily accommodates the many groups that call Wolf Ridge Ski Resort a favorite!
