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.

Having missed the great conditions Thurs. I was determined to at least get some leftovers at beech. Wife being out of town the animals are in my care so I brought my dog with me, she was perplexed and not at all amused by this unexpected trip













There was not too much powder, although I didn't venture off the beaten track, but all the runs were wonderful; silky and soft. Really good mood around the whole place too.



















I love the beeryurt, a great addition













I had a beer with Skywryter, hubby, and their group and assisted with hauling down some empties, making myself useful and fun as hell -- pics were taken, perhaps they'll emerge.



Just a day, with more driving then skiing, still it was grand (but I've really come to hate the drive home on these daytrips, blah) Still gotta ski it if you can, I will remember the runs a lot longer then the drive





edit -- perhaps I was being unfair to my dog, she was probably wondering why she wasn't getting to ski

Stopped into the beer yurt on a really great day a couple weeks ago. Visibility was nil, the place was happily empty. I got a day pass (open until 1pm). It was great to see the "open" banner at noon.



Got my last lift ride up at 1pm. Had a pint, enjoyed some bar talk, and skied down.



A great day of skiing, and a great way to end the day.

The drive home would have been better if you had invited someone to keep you company for at least part of the ride.

I thought I was going to go to asheville spend the night and ski Wolf for the first time, that's why I brought Lucy -- however I got my directions wrong and decided to just keep going home



Did Skywryter send you any pictures?

Good to see all the white on the mountain. A day trip is a blessing. I miss being close by.

Nice TR DS. Beech has got it going on this season, hope they continue to keep improving. I'm sure your dog had a great time, should have brought him some snowlerblades.
