Made it out on Beech tonight to ski. Great night of skiing, great powder, ZERO visibility. Fog was rolling in heavy. Have a few photos, including running into a few Ski NC'ers at the lodge, getting those loaded up as soon as I can.
The ski conditions were great, a little icy spot getting off the quad at the top, right outside of the lift house, but I don't think it can be helped, just where the warmer air from the lift house is hitting that fresh powder then the cool air freezing it again. Snow guns were pumping it out and had to scrape my goggles quickly before they would ice over 20 yards later. No lines, no one hardly on the mountain (surprising guys, they are doing some awesome things at Beech, worth the visit). Hoping the fog lifts by tomorrow or maybe Monday so I might can actually see which trails I'm skiing. White Lightning was closed, but I guess the fog was a little too strong and someone didn't seen the boundary markers because I saw some fresh tracks down it when I was going up the lift that weren't there at the beginning of the night (not me, honest).
All and all, great night of fresh powder skiing.
Thanks to Rhyno and the guys at the lodge for saying hello.
I'll try and get the pictures up by tomorrow afternoon.
