Skiers and Snowboarders NC Paradise
2014/2015 Ski and Snowboard Season
The 2014-2015 Winter season started with a bang and no surprise, Beech Mountain Resort was a skiers and snowboarders NC paradise. The aerial video from Jordan Nelson gives a bird’s eye view of the majesty that is Beech.
Friday was opening day of the 2014/2015 ski and snowboard season at Beech Mountain Resort and it couldn’t have gone any better. After two days of snow and weeks of snow-making, the slopes were in mid-season form. Early morning clouds burned off quickly and everyone was treated to bluebird conditions by mid-morning. It really was a fantastic opening day. Below we’ve posted an AMAZING aerial video shot by Jordan Nelson. It’s pretty incredible. There’s also some pictures to gaze at as well.

Nov. 28, 2014. On Friday morning, Beech Mountain Resort became the last resort in the High Country to open, and the conditions are great. The base is 18 to 44 inches and blue dominates the sky on opening day.
“With six inches of natural snow overnight, these are some of the best opening day conditions we have seen in years,” Beech Mountain Resort spokeswoman Talia Freeman said.
WCNC, noting that snowfall records only go back two decades, reported that the 17 inches of snow that Beech Mountain received this November is the most on record for the month of November. This compares to about 13 inches recorded in 1995 and 2008.
Beech Mountain Resort has nine of its 16 slopes and freestyle terrains open and four of seven lifts operating. For more information about “What’s New” at Beech Mountain Resort, click here. See daily slope reports on the resort’s Facebook page. Reach Beech Mountain Resort at 828-387-2011.
