He's located in SW Florida.
I remember being quite pleased with Maggie Valley NC. You could fly into Jackson County (24A) or Asheville (AVL) The Biltmore is normally very nice during Christmas. It's not much of a ski area, but the Cataloochee is nearby. There was a snow tubing hill in town too.
For a better ski area experience, a bit further NE is Banner Elk, NC and the Beech Mountain Resort. There are a couple of private airports in the area, but you could land at Elizabethton (0A9) or Avery County/Morrison (7A8).
None of these ski areas compare with anything up in the NE or out west. But if you're looking to frolic in some snow and have some fun, these places will do.
