"Our group of 12 started our day at the Nordic Center where me all met, had drinks while everyone trickled in and some rented snowshoes. Once the group was ready, we headed up the trail to the cookhouse a little over a mile away. Once we made it to the cookhouse we took in the incredible views and went in for our lunch. Reservations are a must. If you arrive early, you can get drinks while you wait. The food..."

"This was one of the most unique and fun experiences ever. You either hike, snow shoe or Nordic ski up a gorgeous path to then eat a delicious gourmet meal. Its not easy to snag a reservation, but worth all the effort."

"The Tennessee Pass Nordic center is a great family friendly place and organization. They have fantastic staff, great ski instructors and great trails to X-country ski on. Their prices are extremely reasonable for both the trail pass and rental. Plus, they have an awesome lodge with great food and drinks too. Additionally, they have a great dining location (you have to hike, snowshoe or ski there) plus some sleeping yurts. This is a great place to go if you are..."

"We had our wedding at the Nordic Center, and then had guests who wanted stay at the Yurts and have brunch at the Cookhouse the next morning. What an amazing experience. The staff are so friendly and accommodating, the food was amazing, and views/experience was perfect. Could not ask for anything better. Thank you Mariah, Alec, and the staff for making our wedding so special."

"If you fat bike and like steep, lung-busting terrain at high altitude, you must ride here. So much fun! Great for winter training for road, gravel, and mountain biking. Expect to spend a lot of time in VO2 max and threshold. Besides great riding, the trail/grooming is frequent, views are stellar, the owners/staff are awesome. Glad to have a season pass. Thanks for offering a fantastic place to train all winter! Also, as a novice classic xc skier, I really..."

"This is such a neat experience located right next to Ski Cooper. We stopped in the pick up some drinks after a long day of downhill skiing and were blown away by how cool it was inside. This building is the hub for food, drinks, and relaxing but you can also book nordic skiing, snowshoeing, hike, or rent bikes in the summer all out of this location. You can even rent yurts from here as well. In any event, If..."
