Know Your Neighbor: Beech Mountain Resort

Beech Mountain Resort: A year-round hub for tourism, outdoor recreation, live music, and fun for all ages.

When most people picture a ski resort, they picture snow. If you've spent any time getting to know the High Country, you know Beech Mountain Resort isn't waiting around for winter.

The highest ski area in eastern North America at 5,506 feet, Beech Mountain has become one of the most compelling year-round destinations and reflects the thoughtful, community-connected approach to tourism that makes the High Country such a distinctive place to live and visit.

From mountain biking, disc golf and live music to a craft brewery, skyline views, yoga on the summit, and a coffee shop, this is worth the drive for locals and visitors. When the snow melts, the slopes at Beech Mountain become a stunning blue and green mile-high backdrop for summer fun!

Whether your last visit was a ski trip or years ago, the mountain looks a little different every season. See it for yourself this summer!

UNDER THE SNOW: MOUNTAIN BIKING TRAILS

In winter, steep pitches are what skiers and snowboarders live for. Come summer, they become the backbone of a mountain biking destination! Beech Mountain Resort offers mountain bike lessons and camps for all skill levels, with certified instructors leading riders through the terrain in a way that's approachable for beginners and genuinely challenging for more experienced riders.

BEECH MOUNTAIN BREWING CO.

Whether you're winding down after a ride or just looking for a laid-back spot to spend an afternoon, the brewery delivers on atmosphere as much as it does on the beer. It's the kind of place that makes a mountain trip feel like a complete experience rather than a single-activity outing. LEARN MORE >>
