Winter is right around the corner, and we’re getting things started early at Beech Mountain Resort. Join us Saturday, November 14, for the return of Early Access, presented by Recess.

This preseason event brings skiers and snowboarders together for a day of competition, music, and an early celebration of the upcoming winter season. Competitors will have the opportunity to show off their skills on a specially designed rail setup, while spectators can enjoy the action from the sidelines. The event will also feature food trucks, a ski and snowboard sale, an open bar, and more. Stay tuned for additional event details as we get closer to November 14.

DJ Raheim Andrews will provide music throughout the event, with food trucks and Beech Mountain Brewing Co. on-site throughout the day.
