I lived in Colorado and have snowboarded all over the west and in the alps; honestly, I expected a lame NC experience. BUT NO, we had a blast! The tickets were cheap, the mountain was fun, and the best part, now that I'm 40 with kids... the folks at Beech treated us like rock stars! Every thing we did, the... More

Crazy, too many people, and dangerous. I would not let my kids ski here. More

We stayed at Beech last weekend, and it was very nice, the town is cute and quaint. The skiing was terrible, but not Beech Mountain's fault. The weather had been warm, melted all the snow, and the same evening 25 degree temps rolled in with high winds, so it was definitely difficult to see and Icy. Beech was blowing snow... More

Long lift lines in the afternoon, when the late day session arrives. Get there early, ski 'til about 1:30 (when late session arrives), hit the bar for a bit, catch a few afternoon runs before 4-4:30 More

Our family of 5 spent lovely winter holiday week at Beech Mountain. Long story short, you will be happy you picked that place for your winter vacation. It is about 10 min. from the slopes or 5 min. opposite direction to the big Recreation Center with plenty of activities if weather is so so. You will find an excellent one... More
