People to ride with in NC

My girlfriend and I ride Sugar Mountain about twice a month from Novemeber to March. We are both intermediate riders always looking to ride with bigger groups. We are from Georgia so we ride from Friday to Monday.......damn jobs! Hit me up if you want to go. We can also go over to Beech. Any other suggestions are welcomed.

Do you guys ever stay the night out there? My fiance and I are always looking for people to ride with, but we'd rather spend the night and split the cost of a room in Banner Elk/Beech since it's a 4 hour drive out there for us. I guess we're both intermediate as well, we ride the blue runs at Beech and black runs at Snowshoe in the crazy powder storms last season. God that was AWESOME.

LOL!

Hehe. It usually takes me forever to fall asleep unless I've been drinking too, so that might not have been a good plan. I know we're going up to Beech a few days after Xmas when my younger brother comes up from FL, he's never seen snow before. Then the 2nd week in Feb we're renting a condo for the entire week when my other brother comes up, also from FL hehehe.

Originally posted by STRICK-9 Did anyone manke it up to Cat this weekend...if so, how were the conditions. I think this is going to be a great week to make snow for them. Temps are suppose to be low!

By looking at the webcam it looked pretty bad, huge green spots. Starting Thurs night they should be able to make tons of snow.

Originally posted by Brian2127 Yeah, we usually stay Friday to Monday. We stay at a little Chalet accross the street from Sugar but we were just talking about checking out some other mountains. We will be there this weekend from Friday until Monday. Private message me if you will be there and we can meet up and go board together.

We won't be out there till at least next weekend, this weekend is too busy right now.

Headed up next Friday, if anyone wants to meet up. 

Originally posted by nuggetuconn hey guys im from new england, im heading down to boone mountain mid december. plz tell me there'll be snow! i look at weather.com and it looks awfully warm :(

The SE resorts don't receive much natural snow, 50-100" a year for the whole season. But, we've got the best snowmaking systems in the country to counter that fact. They can blanket the entire resort in several inches of manmade snow in only a day. It's pretty impressive actually.

Hey is anyone planning on being at snowshoe over Christmas?? Ive got a condo that week and looking for some company in tha park. hit me up.

Superorb: I'll let you know as it gets closer whether I'll make it up that away around that time....I heard Beech is a hard drive thru the mtns and idk if my bimmer can make it on run flats!

Which is why i choose cat, wolf and winter

Beech isn't that bad, I've gone in our FWD econobox and we made it there/back fine except for one spot of lots of ice in a parking lot. We go to Wintergreen which is good, but we went to Winterplace once and hated it. It took us ages to get to the far left lift, and it's a PITA to get there since it's flat for a long stretch. We just didn't like it. Of course, we were noobs back then so maybe things have changed.

Originally posted by rade Hey, I stay in Charlotte NC and went to sugar and app all last year and looking to switch thing up a bit and hit beech up. Looking to find a crew/group to hang out with and I'll help with gas

Too bad you're not in Raleigh, we go to Beech usually.

Booked the Time Share for a week in Feb at Beech mtn. Anyone planning on being there the 2nd week in Feb?

We have a group of 5 couples heading up to Beech Feb 4th thru the 8th. We are staying right on the slopes. When are you getting there?

Cool. We are limited on time due to WORK :( However, a group of us fellas will be coming up for as many overnighters as possible. We are all firfighters and have easy schedules........its the wives and girlfriends that have the 9 to 5s....

Beech is opening on Saturday is anyone going?  I might head up to Sugar on Friday if they get a few more trails open.

wow...in't hear about the $5 passes....that place will be a zoo.

SH: Also check out one of the NC Mtns offers a Firefighter Day in Jan an Feb, tix are real cheap...

Is the $5 dollar deal Friday or Saturday?

I think I m heaing to Cat....they are making mad snow. The base is gotta be 3' now. Plus, they are making snow up to the first quad run but they will not make a determination on it until Friday afternoon.

Are there 2 ways to get to Beech? I only know to take Tynecastle to the red light and hang a left. Then down a mile or two before taking a right.

WORM: Have never ridden Sugar...how is it compared to Cat as far as runs and overall trails.

I'm going to sugar this Friday if you wanna go lol

Where is App? We go to Sugar and Beech every year.

Who has the best night riding? Sugar or Beech?

I know everyone hates on Sugar but I'm curious. Looking to go Sunday night if conditions hold up. I haven't done night riding on the east coast in a long time, we'll see how it goes.
