Sky Valley Resort

Sky Valley hopes to open their ski season on December 21st, weather permitting, with the season lasting through the end of March, again weather permitting.

A Retreat for the body, soul and spirit. Cool Breezes caress you as you come into this Valley in the Sky. In the highest city in Georgia, the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains hide this pictureque valley. All who enter feel the cool breezes blowing gently across the hills and dancing through the Valley. Into this postcard setting, a CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF COURSE was carved out of the Valley and the mountain sides for the pure enjoyment of the Valley's guests. To give more purpose to the beautiful winter months, a SKI RESORT was built with four runs. An olympic sized pool and lighted TENNIS COURTS adds to the summer enjoyment of the Valleys guests.
