Southern Snow

“If this book’s title seems a contradiction in terms, thank the author for dispelling the notion that our neck of the woods doesn’t offer significant winter sporting. In fact, you just need to know where and when to look for snow-laden adventures in the South.”—WNC

“Southern Snow immerses the reader in a general understanding and appeal of winter in the southern Appalachians. In this comprehensive and interesting read, Randy Johnson shares his love of the Southern highlands.”—Seniors Skiing

“Southern Snow is a comprehensive overview of a lifestyle that shouldn’t seem to exist in the South: A southern ski industry? Really? For curious readers, Randy Johnson is only too happy to fill them in. Though it is first and foremost about where to play in the snow, it is also a wonderful history of the birth and growth of an industry.” — Joe Miller, author of Adventure Carolinas: Your Go-To Guide for Multi-Sport Outdoor Recreation

“This guide is for anyone interested in winter sports in the South; even practiced skiers will find new information here to enhance their experience.” — Carolyn Sakowski, author of Touring the Western North Carolina Backroads

“This is a fantastic book about winter recreation in a region not commonly associated with snow. Johnson’s extensive knowledge of the Southern Appalachians will give readers excellent information about how to enjoy the region’s colder, snowy months.” — Baker Perry, Appalachian State University
