Sky Valley is a city in Rabun County, Georgia, United States and is nestled in a mountain valley on the northwest slopes of Rabun Bald, Georgia's second-highest peak. Incorporated in March 1978, it recorded a total population of 250 as of the 2000 U.S. census, and 482 as of 2020. Sky Valley shares ZIP code 30537 with nearby Dillard. Since 1969, it is home to Sky Valley Resort (now renamed Sky Valley Country Club), which features championship golf, championship croquet, tennis, and swimming, and formerly downhill skiing. Ski area The resort formerly had the only winter ski area in Georgia, but after changing ownership in 2004, the resort's ski slopes were permanently closed after 35 years. The former ski lodge at 696 Sky Valley Way now houses a church under its two unique eight-gabled roofs, while the chairlift house and equipment-rental shop were demolished in January 2007. To the immediate south of this, condos were built on the north-facing slope which previously had the five ski runs, named Panorama, Scooter, Kamikaze, Gravity's Revenge, and Pokey, the last of which was the bunny slope for children with its own rope tow. These provided of skiable terrain with a vertical drop of . Only three other aerial lifts remain in Georgia: the Sky Buckets open-air gondola at Six Flags Over Georgia, and the Summit Skyride tram to the top of Stone Mountain, both in metro Atlanta; and the chairlift across Lake Winnepesaukah, an amusement park even closer to Georgia's northern state line in Rossville, a suburb adjoining Chattanooga, Tennessee. After the closures of Sky Valley's ski operations and Ski Scaly, Sapphire Valley is the nearest ski area, while Cloudmont in far northeast Alabama remains the southernmost in the eastern U.S. since 1970, beating Sky Valley after only a year. Four western ski areas go as far south as the latitude of middle Georgia, while Mexico's only ski area is slightly further south than Miami. Transportation The only highway or other significant through-road is the Dillard/Highlands Road (Georgia 246 and N.C. 106) between Dillard, Georgia and Highlands, North Carolina. The northern city limit is the North Carolina state line, where the highway zigzags, crossing in five different places (two of which are into and out of the city). Due to surveying errors more than 200 years ago, the boundary is considerably further south than the 35°N specified at the time by Congress. Because
