Scaly Mountain Outdoor Center Satisfies the Need for Speed

Scaly Mountain Outdoor Center, Sapphire Valley North Carolina. Grab your inner tube, let the ski lift pull you to the top of the slope and then hold on for the ride of your life. If you have never been tubing, it is a must-do activity. The tradition began in the Alps, and Scaly Mountain Tubing in NC rendition is an experience all its own. Come enjoy this wild and crazy ride for yourself.  When Mother Nature doesn’t provide the snow, our snow making equipment ensures there is enough to have a great time. Make sure you wear warm clothes; toes and fingers get cold fast! Fun for the whole family. http://www.scalymountain.com
