Beech Mountain Sled Hill

On this particular Monday March 3rd, it might be sunny and 70. But, last week’s foot of snow on Beech Mountain inspired me to trudge my way up there and check out their unique sledding set-up.

Eagle Pass at Dollywood

Lots of changes in store at Dollywood this season. New main entrance. New parking lots. But perhaps the biggest improvement is a move designed to save steps and shoe leather for the park’s millions of pedestrian visitors.

Ski Beech

It’s the second leg of our journey to the North Carolina High Country ski resorts. It all started for Ski Beech when a retired dentist from Alabama, who was an avid skier, learned about snow making and decided the mountains of North Carolina could support skiing if they had snow making. And, ever since, they’ve been skiing on The Beech.

Appalachian Ski Mountain

Just after the New Year came in, my traveling buddy, Joe Tennis from the Bristol Herald Courier, and I had the chance to go on a High Country media ski tour in Western North Carolina. For the next three Wednesdays in January, I’ll be showing you some of the ski resorts we visited. The first stop: Appalachian Ski Mountain.
