This year, we visited Beech Mountain, North Carolina for the third time. (You can find a recap of our first visit here.) Our family loves Beech Mountain and all the snow-activities we can get into! We hit the slopes as a party of 12, but some of us took to skiing better than others (wink, wink).

Our snow-skiing trips have been Christmas gifts from my parents, and we are so thankful that they gift us with experiences instead of things!

When we travel to Beech Mountain, our first stop is usually Fred’s General Store. There are several places in the area to rent skis, boards, and other gear, but Fred’s is by-far our favorite! The people are always so friendly and helpful!

As usual, we rented a house through vrbo.com. The house was super close to the slopes and even had a hot tub. It was so nice to hit the slopes during the day and come back and relax in the hot tub to warm up in the evenings!
