Winter Storm Gianna Can’t Stop Adventure in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge

Winter has officially arrived in the Smokies, and Winter Storm Gianna is transforming Gatlinburg into a
snow-covered playground. While some visitors may be tempted to cancel plans and stay indoors, true
adventure seekers know better. Snow doesn’t stop the fun, it upgrades it.

With the right equipment, expert guides, and safety-first operations, UTV riding in Gatlinburg is still open and delivering
unforgettable winter experiences. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend getaway or already in town
watching the snow fall, here’s why now is the perfect time to ride.

Storm Overview: What Winter Storm Gianna Means for Gatlinburg?

Winter Storm Gianna has brought fresh snowfall, crisp mountain air, and postcard-worthy scenery to Gatlinburg and the surrounding Smoky Mountains. Snow-dusted trails, frozen creeks, and fog rolling through the hills create a one-of-a-kind atmosphere you only get a few times each year.

While some attractions pause during winter weather, off-road adventures thrive in these conditions. Trails are carefully monitored, operations are adjusted for safety, and rides continue as long as conditions meet strict standards. The result? A rare chance to experience Gatlinburg’s backcountry in its most beautiful and exciting form.

Why UTVs Work So Well in Snow?

UTVs are built for rugged terrain—and snow is no exception. With wide tires, low centers of gravity, and powerful four-wheel-drive systems, these machines handle winter conditions far better than standard vehicles.

Key advantages include:

• Superior traction on snow-packed trails
• High ground clearance to navigate snow buildup
• Stable handling on uneven winter terrain
• Fully enclosed machine options with heat to block wind and cold
• Full gear in store for your experience including snow suites, gloves, hand warmers, and more.

Winter riding isn’t just possible, it’s incredible. Snow adds an extra layer of challenge and excitement, making every turn and climb more rewarding. We do not get a ton of snow, so this is your chance to experience something 99% of visitors to the area do not get to do when they come to the area.

All Our Locations Open During the Storm!

Trail availability may vary depending on conditions, but operations continue daily with weather-based adjustments.
