All the tourists are gone in November....locals mostly. At Christmas there are lights at big house, but it is not so much for tourism and cold here in Mountains by November.

I kind of wondered about that. Thank you.
We have some ski areas north near Boone, NC BUT we only get snow later in winter like Jan-March, and although there is fake snow, traveling these mountains should be done in groups or two or more in winter, ice is our big deal and we have some huge drops off mountain curves at higher elevations.
Around Asheville it’s more like other urban areas to drive. A lot more to do in summer when festivals, music on green, or you can hike or explore....
