Things to do on Presidents’ Day
Snow Tubing (or Skiing)
If you don’t have to work and would love to take your kids on a fun adventure, try snow tubing. Ski Sapphire Valley in Cashiers, NC is open on Presidents’ Day (weather permitting) (learn all about it here – we just went!). Moonshine Mountain near Hendersonville, NC is also open. See the rest of our snow tube/ski list here.
Outhouse Races
This is by far the most underrated thing on our list here because it’s amazing. The Great Outhouse Races happen at the Sapphire Valley Resort on Saturday, February 15th. You can watch outhouses on skis race down a mountain. Definitely check the resort’s social media or call them before you go because the event is weather-dependent.

Want to go snow tubing or skiing over the long weekend? See our best places to ski and tube near Greenville story.
Hiking in the winter is great for many reasons – the first probably being that there aren’t any bugs! See our big hiking guide for some suggestions of fun trails.
And if you’d like to see some gorgeous waterfalls, see our Winter Waterfall Driving Tour (you may get lucky and even see from frozen falls!).
