First time skiing at Beech Mtn. The skiing was go...

First time skiing at Beech Mtn. The skiing was good, mountain is beautiful, and it has the POTENTIAL to be a great ski destination. BUT having skied all over the country, there are a few things that need to be addressed.

1. DON'T shut down 1 of 2 chairlifts to the top of the mountain in the middle of the afternoon on a SUPER crowded Saturday! The reason given was that they "always close the lift at this time". The lines at both lifts were reasonable until they closed one of them, pushing hundreds of people onto a single chairlift. It was complete chaos at the only lift, and looked like the March of the Penguins, creating a 30 minute wait. Understand the crowd and make an informed decision.

2. Create a Singles Line for the chairlift. I have NEVER skied at a place without a dedicated Singles Line for people to fill in the chairlifts. This was part of the problem with long lines, along with very poor line management by the staff. While waiting for friends at the top for 5 minutes, I counted 9 chairs go by with only ONE person on it, and 2 chairs with NOBODY on it. All of this while there were hundreds of people waiting in line.

3. Don't have your ski rental forms at the ticket windows. Really slowed down the process of getting a lift ticket. Some people waited 45 minutes in line just to get a lift ticket.

Hope some changes are made because this place has great potential.
