Going Skiing.....

[PHATchik]

N.C. Skiing... Checkout www.skibeech.com

They have a Live Webcam and you can see the Man made snow conditions on Beech Mtn. N.C.
This is the highest altitude Ski resort in the east and is pretty good covered with Snow making equip and even Lights for night skiing...It may be a bit late in the seacon to ski in N.C. this year...

Actually, this may be the one we are going to. It's between this one and another one.

ive been skiing before. we dont have snow where i live so we had to make do with plastic mats (dry slope). i didnt do many lessons so im not exactly an expert, they only trained me up to the point where i could ski down the hill really fast, so my advice aint detailed. i just wanted to say hi really

snow plow dont lean back too much, beware of damaging your knees as it will f- up your training and go slowly at first . and if some ski instructor tries puttin his hands on you poke him in the eyes and then push him down the slope...its a skiing tradition, trust me on this, it tests his skiing ability while temporarily blinded

as your not a man i dont have to explain the potential horrors of the ski-lift

Thanks hun! I'll definitely keep all this in mind. Oh yea, and hi.

Phatchick-

It's fun as hell! I'm going for spring break. You're going to love it!! Oh, and the ski lifts aren't that scary. Just don't swing on them and you won't fall off!

hey you got to ski in actual snow . most of our group were deathly scared of faling over incase one of their hands/fingers got trapped in a hole in the plastic and get it ripped off. or being castrated by the ski lift machine. i bet its probably quite cheap to go skiing too over there

brutal!

real snow is better... although once i skied in a tshirt and took a tumble. i discovered that snow can be quite scratchy.

once i "fell" but ended up on my feet and continued down the hill.... i think i did a front flip!

PHAT.... The other resorts in the NC area are OK but beech has a good instructor program Rentals and also a great Tubing run.
As you can see by the beech Webcam, the artificial snow coverage is good for this time of year..
The other resorts(Hawksnest..tubing only, Sugar http://www.appnetsite.com/webcameras_Sugar2.htm
are much smaller and have less diversity for the non beginner.

We stayed at the Pinnacle Inn at beech and it was real nice.
Condo's with a bus going back and forth to ski beech...

Enjoy !
