Snowboarding in Banner Elk
Ski Beech is the highest ski area in eastern North America. It’s a cute little resort and a good place to start out if you have never snowboarded before. The ski season is from November to Mid March. They offer day and twilight skiing, and the slopes are lit for nighttime skiing, which is quite fun.
First time snowboarding?
The best thing to do if it’s your first time snowboarding and you don’t have any of your own gear is to go with the Learn-to-Snowboard Package. It comes with a lift/slope ticket, rental equipment, and a one-hour group lesson for $55.

Diving with Sharks
Sure, diving with dolphins is cool, but diving with great white sharks is bad ass. (Assuming they don’t rip your arm off that is.) If you’re looking for an adventure vacation that’s a little off the beaten path, why not try a shark diving cruise? It’s like a regular cruise, only with sharks instead of all you can eat shrimp.
The Who
Nautilus Explorer is a small ship charter that takes customers on a number of unique and exciting trips; one of course being, diving with great white sharks. The company has been exposing people to sharks since mid 2005 and has been a big hit since its first shark encounter trip.

Offshore Sailing Schools
If Jimmy Buffet songs make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside and the idea of pirates fascinates you, perhaps you should look into offshore sailing schools. All offshore sailing schools will teach you the basics of what you need to know to captain your own boat. (How to plunder and pillage is a different class altogether.)
While offshore sailing schools many not teach you to be the next Captain Jack Sparrow, they will teach you the finer points of sailing. Don’t know your bow from your stern? Don’t worry, that’s what the offshore sailing schools are for.

Backpacking in the Adirondacks
The fall views from the Adirondacks are what postcards are made from. Spend a few days backpacking here during the fall months and you will know what it feels like to be “at one with nature.” If you are up for a challenge you can try your hand at the trail up Mount Marcy, the highest point in New York.
Don’t expect to be the only trying to reach the 5,344 foot summit of Mount Marcy though. Thousands of people try it every year. If you want a more secluded trip that offers plenty in the way of serenity, try the multi day loop that starts at the John Brook Lodge.
