Beech Mountain Resort is pretty decent skiing for the Southeast. We like the accommodations of Sugar versus Beech, and the longer runs at Sugar, but the pricing of Beech is a little more affordable. Even though it snowed 2-3 inches while we were there, and the temperatures were in the 20s and lower 30s for several days, only 6 of 16 slopes were opened. Just a little disappointed the blowers weren't even on in those areas, but I don't know how expensive they are to operate. Overall though, I'd go back again because it's a fun time and decent runs to go down for beginner to intermediate level skiers.
