Boone can be said as having a diverse climate with a big fluctuation of temperatures throughout the year. Although Boone is located in the American South, its climate can be more comparable to the northeastern United States with long cold winters and warm, but less humid summers. Winters are cold and snow is common with afternoon temperatures rarely getting above 40°F (4°C). Low temperatures during the winter typically drop to as low as 17°F (-8°C). January is the snowiest month when as much as 10 inches (25 cm) can fall, making it the most popular time of the year for skiers and snowboarders. Throughout the year, Boone on average receives about 35 inches (89 cm) of snow. Springs are generally cool with afternoon temperatures around 61°F (16°C). Fall is very popular amongst "leaf lookers," long-distance travelers looking at fall foliage across the Appalachian Mountains. Temperatures during fall are generally comparable to sprig with afternoon temperatures falling below 70°F (21°C). Summers are much cooler than the rest of the American South and far less humidity. Average summertime high temperatures typically stay under 80°F (27°C) with frequent afternoon showers and thunderstorms when as much as an inch of rain (2.5 cm) can fall at a given time. June is the wettest month when about 5 inches (12.7 cm) of rain falls. Relative humidity in the summer generally stays under 80 percent, unlike most of the southeast.

As you are riding in on either Highway 421 or Highway 321 you will not be able to miss the huge mountain sticking up out of the surrounding landscape. Howard's Knob park is up at the very top and it's easy to get to, you just have to know which road to turn onto off of King St. Heading west on 421, you will turn right onto Cherry St. Keep heading uphill and when you come to an intersection go in the direction that looks like it's leading uphill and before you know it you will come upon the park.

• Appalachian State Mountaineers - Kidd Brewer Stadium, 425 Jack Branch Dr. 36.212468,-81.684359 +1 828 262-2079 +1-800-919-2777 - Fields teams in 10 men's sports and 10 women's sports, but best known for being one of the winningest programs in college football in recent decades.

Top Travel Tips

Halal Ski Holidays in Boone (North Carolina)

In skiing season and there are several nearby mountains that offer skiing.

• Beech Mountain Resort - Ski Beech | 1007 Beech Mtn Pkwy, Beech Mountain, NC 36.194317,-81.878191 +1-800-438-2093 Opening Hours: Sunday - Thursday 9AM Monday - 9PM; F-Sa 9AM Monday - 10PM; partial days 9AM Monday - 1PM, 1PM Monday - 5PM, 5PM Monday - close; seasonal Adult lift ticket $25-77 Generally less appealing than nearby Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain's infrastructure shows its age; for example, lift tickets do not use barcodes and are checked by eye. Lifts are very slow (not helped by needing to leave empty seats for weight balance) and difficult to get on and off of due to their low load height. The trails have a fair assortment of difficulties, although beginners will feel fairly limited. However there are a number of crisscrossing intermediate trails to choose from, as well as multiple terrain parks. You can also buy a ticket for any third or two-thirds of the day (morning, afternoon, or night).

• Appalachian Ski Mountain 36.174019,-81.661122 Between Boone and Blowing Rock +1-800-322-2373

Trails are longer with much higher vertical drop and an excellent mix of terrain for everyone from beginners to experts. A 6-person express lift (installed in 2023) runs straight up the mountain, so there's plenty of capacity and lines are short. The single terrain park has a tow handle lift so you can training tricks repeatedly.

Muslim Friendly Hotels

Trying to find lodging in Boone or nearby Banner Elk or Blowing Rock is a disaster. There are thousands of cabins around and no consolidated way to search them. Websites are awful, ranging from out of date and poorly maintained, to unhelpful or even nonfunctional. Several others have no online search capability, expecting you to call, or manually read as many as 100 individual cabin listings each on a separate page. Of sites that do have search capability, it's generally inadequate; searching for "lodging near ski slopes" might show places as far as 30 minutes away, with its location just described as "Boone".
