Beech Mountain Ski Resort Adds New Snow Guns & More!

Beech Mountain Resort continues to increase it's offerings in the snowmaking department. Ten SMI Automated Polecats were added to the automated system, bringing the total number to 18. The automated system is now located on every slope to give Beech Mountain Resort the largest snowmaking capacity in the resort's history.


In addition to the hard work it required to install the new snowmaking system, the resort staff was able to tackle many other improvements.

Some of the new items include:

•The removal of Chair #2, increasing the skiable terrain on Southern Star and Robbins Run

•A new beginner slope. The "School Yard" will be located behind the View Haus Cafeteria

•A new freestyle ski and snowboard shop. "Roots Rideshop" will offer demos, retail and the only public indoor half-pipe in the area.

•Beech Mountain Coffee and Gift Shop. Located in the Beech Tree Village, the shop will offer souvenirs, drinks and snacks.

•A new building for shuttle pick up and drop off. The newly designed space will shield customers from the cold conditions, while waiting for the shuttle.

•New Snowboard Rentals

Lots Of Snow-Great Skiing On Beech Mtn NC

BEECH MOUNTAIN, NC --


This year's ski season is shaping up to be one of the better ones in recent memory thanks to the recent snow and cold. North Carolina's Beech Mountain Resort has already received more than four feet of snow this month alone. That's a third of what fell on Beech Mountain all of last year and the season has just begun.

“I would say these are some of the best conditions you’re going to have here,” Beech Mountain Resort Director of Marketing and Sales Talia Freeman said. “You can’t ask for better ski conditions than having natural powder out.”

Thousands of skiers took to the slopes Tuesday to take advantage of the good conditions.

“They’re excellent,” George Seaton of Washington County, TN said. “It’s a beautiful day. I don’t know how it could be any better.”

138 inches of snow fell on Beech Mountain last season, which was considered a good year. With 50 inches of natural snowfall so far this season, Beech Mountain hopes things are looking up again this year.

"It's a great feeling,” Freeman said. “The slopes are in great shape.”
