Fall Weekend in the Smokies
About this event
Join us in beautiful Gatlinburg, Tennessee - the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains - for an unforgettable fall weekend, Friday through Sunday, October 23-25. Want to extend the weekend? Add a few days before or after with our special lodging rates! Expect breathtaking foliage, crisp mountain air, and a lineup of events that blend outdoor adventure, local flavor, and lively socializing.
This annual Crescent Ski Council Fall Conference includes:
- Guided hike in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
- Moonshine tasting and distillery tour
- Vendor trade show with food, wine, and beer
- DJ/Dance Party dressed in Halloween finery. Hot & cold appetizers, desserts, wine & beer provided.
Why October?
Mid-to-late October is prime leaf-peeping season in the Smokies. When warm, sunny days meet cool autumn nights, the mountains light up in a fiery display of reds, oranges, and golds - and you're invited to hike right through it.
Lodging
We’ve secured deeply discounted group rates (about 50% off typical pricing) at Glenstone Lodge. Want to turn it into a longer getaway? If you'd like to continue your stay before or after the conference with our special rate, please contact the trip leader who can help arrange that for you.
Who Should Come?
Everyone’s welcome - from longtime members to curious first-timers. For those involved in club leadership (or interested in getting involved), Saturday morning includes sessions on Trips, Recreational Racing, and Club Administration. Sunday morning there is a Board of Directors business meeting, which includes all of the CSC reps from the member ski clubs. Those interested may attend and listen to learn more about CSC operations. CSC reps discuss and vote on important issues affecting all clubs.
