I'm not caught up at all on the Bear scene anymore so would be of no help, and this post is a few days ago at this point, so did you go? Also, happy birthday braddah!Birthday tomorrow and I'm in LA for a few days, so... should I blast up to Bear Mountain first thing in the morning? I'm not much on the weather reports, any intel I can get would be amazing...
What do you look for at a place like Beech? No temps above freezing since last snowfall?My dude grab rail'ing on a bluebird day at Beech Mountain NC after the previous week's 2 feet of snow. Rain starts Wednesday and will probably melt it all but damn today was GOOOOOD. Little known fact: Beech Mountain is over a mile high. Highest resort east of the Rockies - problem is, it's in the south. But when it's good, it can be very very good. And when it's bad, it's horrid. I broke my leg here in 6th grade.

Edit: I was here today w/my buddy Mikey and his kid. They're from Coronado. He was tripping on how good the snow was. And we were laughing because as long as I've been coming here - which is a long time now, every fifth guy here is still this guy:

those pics bring back some memories!Happy belated birthday! Did you get up to the mountain?
My daughter and I went up to Snow Summit yesterday. Snowed most of the day with a few breaks throughout the day. It was a really good day up on the hill. No crowd to speak of and we got tons of runs in.
Pulling into the parking lot a little after 8 am
Brief break in the snow and a little blue sky action

Yeah - that's one of the most important factors. I saw this past Monday a week out on the charts. They blow snow a lot up there though - and are good at it, so if they've had a few days with cold weather even if no new snow, it can still be fun. You just don't want a few days where it's 45-50 during the day then below freezing at night. Or to go up there after it rains and a cold front pushed thru. I went up there one time and the entire mountain was an ice-skating rink. Like anything else on the East Coast, you gotta be ready to jump when it gets good. Weekends there are a total shitshow bc there are a hell of a lot of skier/boarders in the south. I prefer Beech to Sugar FWIW, tho the mountain bike runs at Sugar might be better.What do you look for at a place like Beech? No temps above freezing since last snowfall?
A weekend trip to Beech is doable for me. Snowshoe WV is like 12 hours until I can sleep in an auto-pilot car.
Big thanks for the conditions tips!!Weekends there are a total shitshow bc there are a hell of a lot of skier/boarders in the south.
FOMO!Bluebird pow day at Mammoth today. Glorious.
Cant beat a mid week pow day. Still amazes me how fast it gets chopped up. A little heavy but still plenty of face shots.Bluebird pow day at Mammoth today. Glorious.
My wife and son are up there and said yesterday was indeed glorious. My son said he was on one of the first chairs up 9 and said it was really good and didn't get too tracked out until later in the morning. Sounds like that side may be full of wind blown from last night.Bluebird pow day at Mammoth today. Glorious.
