The best location on Beech
You cannot beat this location for a Beech Mountain ski trip! It’s located right across the street from the slopes, specifically the top of Lift # 1, which accesses the Lower Shawneehaw trail, a gently sloping blue, making it incredibly convenient for even novice skiers. We bought our lift tickets the evening before and rented our equipment at Fred’s (near the chalet) so were able to avoid any crowds at the lodge and immediately start skiing when the lifts opened the next day. It was also easy to ride the lift back to the chalet for lunch or an outfit change in the middle of the day! The chalet was cute and cozy and offered excellent views of the surrounding mountains. The appliances were a bit dated and the cabin slightly drafty, which we’ve found to be common in rentals in this area, but we stayed warm with well-placed heaters. Communication with the host was excellent- the dryer broke the first time we tried to use it and they sent someone out to replace it on our second morning. If you’re comparing Banner Elk ski resorts, we found Beech to be similar in size and slope variety to Sugar Mountain, but much preferred the dining options around Beech. Though word to the wise, skip the tubing hill at Beech, which isn’t steep enough to make it to the bottom of the run without lots of walking, and a waste of time and money. Otherwise, great ski trip destination!
