Welcome to Beech Mountain

Welcome To The Magestic Beech Mountain, North Carolina!
 
This site will serve as a community information gateway for the beautiful ski mountain community of Beech Mountain, North Carolina.
 
If you are new to the area, Beech Mountain is a small town in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, sitting at about 5,506 feet — making it the highest incorporated town east of the Mississippi. It's best known as a ski destination, home to Beech Mountain Resort, which offers skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating in winter, plus mountain biking and scenic activities in summer. The year-round population is only around 300–400 people, but it swells significantly with visitors and seasonal residents. It's located near Banner Elk and about a two-hour drive from both Charlotte and the Tri-Cities area of Tennessee. Expect cooler temperatures than the surrounding lowlands, with a distinctly alpine feel that's rare for the Southeast.
