Franklin would be your best bet with housing price and amenities. Bryson and cherokee are filled with short term rentals. Batcave and chimney rock are still a mess and rather remote
Very surprising to see franklin have 5 more inches than highlands which is 2500' higher in elevation. Also, the 5" at cataloochee is questionable compared to the very high totals in the valleys near there.
Looks like its over here unless we get some upslope later. We are at just over 9" of powder. Its down to 14 and the wind is blowing it around! Was expecting 4-8. Very happy with it over performing
