The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

I didn't get to Beech as early as I wanted to, but no worries. Crowds were light and the entire mountain was open.



Visibility was another issue. Beech can't do anything about that, but on one occasion I could not see the chair in front of me heading to the top of the mountain. Wind too. In 35 years of skiing, I actually grabbed the chair today and held on.



The snow was primo. Though I couldn't see, I could ski. Lots of turns today.



I got my money's worth, but hopefully sunshine will smile on me Tuesday after next, when I will return. If anyone in the Asheville area needs a ride, I leave at 8am not far off of Merrimon Avenue.

Thanks... it made me "think" about what I was doing instead of just doing it... I have been transitioning from 218cm skis to the new shorter, shaped skis.



I will be going back Tuesday after next.
