Got there and started skiing about 11 AM. Crowds were light with only a couple people in lift lines, but picked up in the afternoon. As my wife and I were driving up we could see the fog/clouds, so we knew visibility would be limited. Beech seems to have clouds/fog frequently so we are used to it. However, today Beech decided to run the snow guns from the top of Shawnee to pretty much the lodge. So, as soon as you got off the lift you had to deal with fog and blowing snowgun snow which was due to the 10 -20 MPH winds. Goggles iced quickly, making it difficult to see pretty much the whole way. The trails were in nice shape, plenty of powder - just a couple inches - just the way I like it. There was a little ice on the lower section of Shawnee, only for about 100 feet, but it was no issue.
We enjoyed the trail conditions, but fog/snowguns/wind blowing the snow made it difficult to see and cold on the body. If they would just shut off the snow guns during these times with decent size crowds it would be perfect. However, I doubt they will ever learn.
I would definitely recommend them right now for their snow conditions.
