Ski Beech is located 20 miles from Boone, NC, 80 miles from Asheville, NC, 150 miles from Knoxville, TN and 180 miles from Chapel Hill, NC.

It is a ski resort that offers many different things to do. Highlights of the mountain are several more challenging runs, a tube park that can be a lot of fun, and ice skating for those of you who don’t wish to brave the mountain. This is a fun weekend destination as it offers many of the perks of the mountains out west while not costing nearly as much.

                  

Rates are pretty affordable, $38 on the weekdays, and they have a plethora of group rates that make it even more economical for groups of 10 or more.

There is a small town at the base of the mountain that is pretty neat. There is a great restaurant called the Beech Tree Bar.  It has really good food and you can ski straight up to the door and be drinking a beer within minutes of taking off your skis. There is also a cafeteria style restaurant called the Viewhaus and a snack bar called Munchies. In addition to these, there are a couple of restaurants/bars located at the base of the mountain which you can go get a little sloppy after a long day on the slopes. Fraziers Steak House and Nite Club and the Destiny Inn Bar and Grill can both be fun places to enjoy a few beers too.

This is definitely a fun road trip spot and one that you can bring a big group to and have a good time.
