It's my first time skiing in 24 years.

Dave's Pro tip, reserve your equipment in advance. We purchased everything online for Saturday Feb 8th. We came in and checked into our AirBnb on Friday the 7th. We proceeded to head to the mountain (before 5) and went through the process of getting our lift tickets and equipment. You can pick these items up 24 hours in advance. If you wait to pick up on Saturday morning you will have a line of about 30 to 50 people roughly waiting to get boots skis snowboards etc. Having the ability to pick things up ahead of time was a huge time saver.
David from Brazil was very patient finding me boots that worked for me.

On Saturday my friend and I purchased a private lesson for just under $100 for the two of us. A very professional and patient gentleman named Roland was very helpful kind and showed us what to do. Even helped put my boots on the right tightness as I don't bend over very well. I recommend you asking for this man if you get a private lesson as he has been skiing for a very long time and he is very very patient.

I love the fact that their main restaurant is also Beech Mountain Brewery. I had the Sinatra stout and the chairlift coffee blonde on tap. Both beers were incredible. The food was good too. Unfortunately there was one bartender and hundreds of people trying to get into the tap room so she needed to work quadruple time to get everyone helped. The line was very long not her fault at all just too many people here this past weekend. We we're lucky we hit up the Beech MTN Brewery Restaurant and Taproom at 11:30am, because anyone else coming in after that waited 1.5 hours to be seated to eat. It's a large place, but the crowds were just too much.

The brewery itself is next door just making and serving beer. Different beers were on tap as well.

For dinner just down the street was a place called Rascals We definitely recommend it and it's not far from the slopes If it's too busy at the actual resort mountain.

We stayed at the holiday beach mountain condos right next door through Airbnb. If you're okay with a little walk you don't have to park at the mountain you literally can walk through the parking lot and into the resort.
