I hit up the morning half day at Beech today. The wind was kicking at my house, so I knew it would be rough at Beech, but I went anyway. The quad was running at about 1/3 the normal speed and to ride the lift you had to have 2 or more people due to the wind. Lower Shawneehaw was dead into the wind and I nearly came to a complete stop. So I stuck to Robbins and Southern Star for the remainder of the morning. The snowmaking was a little tough in spots due to the wind, but it made for some nice powder spots. It's been a sketchy season for grooming at Beech, but today it was terrific. The skiing was really fun, especially on Southern Star. I would imagine that Upper Southern Star and Upper White Lightning will open by this weekend.
On a side note, there was an adaptive ski clinic going on. It's pretty amazing to watch people that are wheel chair bound or have other disabilities being able to enjoy this great sport.
It was way too cold to take my gloves off for pics, so here's a nice stock photo for you.

Tonight was excellent. Frigid but the snow was perfect and there was no crowd. Nothing was groomed. There are huge mounds on Robins that are great fun. I've never seen anything like them before. I'd about guarantee that WL is open tomorrow morning. I really wanted to poach it tonight.
