Nothing. It is still there (the sign is gone), but the line is mostly overgrown. The chairs are stored at the base. The owner lives in a different state and one of the business owners told me there are no future plans. There is no way to get to the top as it is on private property.
Looks like Hawksnest (the actual name of that area; Seven Devils is the town it’s in) is now exclusively a tubing park, claiming to be the largest on the East Coast. Both Hall doubles appear to be standing based off Google Earth imagery. I’m guessing being so close to much larger resorts like Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain brought an end to skiing there.
When did you get out to North Carolina?

There’s a cool C-S double chair that was modified by Borvig/Partek at an abandoned theme park
