The Weather Report

The community is located in an area of the state that has been referred to as "a gift of nature." In meteorological terminology, it lies within what is known as an isothermal belt. It is a rather unusual weather phenomenon that tends to bless a land area with more moderate temperatures, both winter and summer, than would otherwise be true for given latitude, altitude, and related topographical features. The practical effect is to make for year-round outdoor activity.

The resort lies between the Blue Ridge Mountains, which rise more than 3,000 feet above mean sea level on the east, and the Great Smokey Mountains on the west, reaching to elevations of 5,000 to 6,000 feet. Consequently, the mountains valley in which Fairfield Mountains is located, is protected by imposing barriers that tend to hold back the flow of cold winter air coming eastward and southward. It is relatively uncommon in the midst of winter for temperature readings to remain below freezing throughout the winter day.

Average high and low temperature readings for the three summer months and three winter months in nearby Asheville (the closest official weather reporting station) are reported by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as follows:
