          Next up on your to-do list in Gatlinburg is to visit Ober Gatlinburg. Just because it’s not summer or warm outside doesn’t mean you can’t take a vacation. At Ober Gatlinburg in the winter it turns into a Ski Resort. Ober Gatlinburg offers 9 trails ranging from beginner to expert. Even if it’s not snowing, Ober has its own snowmaking machine. You might be asking what if I don’t know how to ski or snowboard? Ober Gatlinburg Offers Ski Lessons. I’ll be honest with you, Skiing is not easy but it is fun. I remember the first few times when I tried to ski, it wasn’t pretty. But once I took the lessons I felt like I could ski on anything. A state-of-the art Snow Tubing Park is also there for little ones if they don’t want to learn.

 One thing all tourist usually ask me is “where do I go see a bear?” Well, Ober Gatlinburg has a bear habitat. I remember the first time a saw a live bear, I was thrilled! Ober Gatlinburg should defiantly be on your to do list in Gatlinburg
