Can't imagine this thread will get much action so I'll hopefully have some stoke to add to it this winter.

We've only been to Cataloochee so a trip to beech could work. I'll post up here when we head anywhere. Thinking of just loading up the groms into the truck camper and seeing how it goes.Quote:

Yeah I learned to ski there and then my parents went in on a family condo share shortly after. Once a month we used to pack up the rig on friday evening, drive down from Ohio, ski all weekend, then drive back, usually skipping a day of school. I haven't skied there forever but was back last fall for the UCI world cup.
My dad's ashes are actually scattered in the lake there. Sometimes I think of living there if I ever move back East.

My first ski day ever was on a field trip from GA to somewhere in AL. Might have been Cloudmont. Best day of my life up till that point. So. Much. Fun.
Need to make it up to Beech and Sugar this winter, it’s been a while. Usually ski Cataloochee a couple of days each year with a couple of other local Mags.
Wolf is doing a free lift ticket next Sunday.

Been a minute since posting but it’s good to see this thread. Im in ATL area ready to make turns. Theres some decent skiing to be found. Some days I ski all day other days its a few runs and then drink beers and grill out in the parking lot.
I’ll look for some stoke to post up
I was up at Cat this morning. Wasn't bad, wasn't great. Variable, soft in the sun, hard in the shade. Not crowded on the hill, crowded as fuck parking; patrol was having a used gear sale and everyone in Asheville was trying to outfit their kids.
Not sure this qualifies as "stoke", but it's what I've got.

Lifelong NC skier. Put on a plane to Utah alone at 16 1990. Still ski 20-25 days a winter in Utah . Haven’t missed a Utah season in 31 straight seasons.
However, I will pick my days and hit beech on occasion. Haven’t been to snowshoe since 2013. I find the lodging too expensive and would rather buy a plane ticket. But it can be fun for sure.

Snowshoe is too flat , but I did do a spring break trip there in 2010 when I was in college in Va and they had more annual snowfall than Most of CO that year . Regardless , not worth more than a day of skiing.
Wolf Laurel has the most potential in the state if they could ever expand . RIP hawksnest
Hawksnest is no more? Too bad, hadn't heard. Nice little ski hill. And if memory serves, it was the site the of the first SkiNC summit. If you know, you know.
Flat in comparison to what? We're not comparing SE to Colorado here, this is just stoke for SE areas. You must have missed the bottom pitches of the two Western Territory runs or the Widowmaker run. Those two areas have some of the best sustained fall line skiing in the region.Quote:

PS you better stay inbounds at Beech. or TNKen'll fuck you up. Seriously. Some dickehead patroller well. story for another day.
/Carry on.
OMG, you guys ski on that? Props...Quote:
