We were reluctant to visit Beech Mountain due to some reviews but we went ahead and decided to see for ourselves. The kids (8 and 12) really wanted to snow tube and ice skate and Beech has both, so we gave it a try. First want to say the staff is GREAT! Everyone was welcoming, helpful, and very nice. There was one employee lady that was a little rude at the tubing area but it wasn t because she was just nasty, she was trying to keep tubers safe from getting hurt. Some parents didn t like her tone, but we understood why she had to be assertive. We tubed until our hearts couldn t tube any longer! So much fun. Then grabbed a bite at the little grill (chicken quesadillas are a must!). We topped the day with some ice skating. Beech exceeded our expectations and we will be back to try out some skiing.
I gave it 4 stars because administration office to get tubing tickets was closed and we were led all over the resort by staff to find tubing tickets. To then be told, go back to administration and just wait till someone opens it. That was a little frustrating at first, but not something that could ruin a trip.
