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.

If your food wasn't hot enough for you then you should've said something to one of them and they would've made you a new order of whatever you had. Everyone that works in the View Haus is super nice and would've done whatever to make sure you had a good experience. The Beech Tree was closed because it doesn't open until the night sessions begin, which will be Friday.
The guns... oh the guns. Any time a snow gun is on, someone will be complaining. The first few weeks of cold weather at a ski resort is CRUCIAL and as much snowmaking as possible needs to happen. If you've skied in NC since you were 5, then you should've been aware of that when you bought your ticket. There's almost always hard, sticky snow underneath the guns, and they can't constantly groom the slopes during the day to prevent it. But once again, if you've ridden NC resorts for so long, then you should know this.
Honestly I thought that was the best opening weekend we've had in a long time. Yes the guns were a little annoying, but they turned most of them off during business hours both Saturday and Sunday. I didn't think it was that bad at all. Sorry you had a bad time, hopefully next time all that snowmaking will pay off and you can enjoy a nice bluebird day.
+1. I couldn't of said it better.

+1 to this as well. Shredder, you need to actually say something to those working at Beech. They will listen and will try to make your experience a better one or you can use Facebook as well. And as your comparison, what are you using if not out West?

Snow guns blowing = longer season & better conditions. I didn't have any problems with snow guns at Cataloochee the past couple of years on April 1.
I'm just glad Beech has their pumps fixed where they can cover more terrain faster.
The wind determines which way the guns face by the way.
