So, I am sure most of you are thinking, its about time, or something to that effect. We are doing some work to our main lift, which has played into our scheduling delay, and for that I do apologize. It seems that the lift will now be ready by the beginning of June. I pasted the release below including our race dates.
We do have plans of opening on a more permanent basis, and resort management seems pretty positive on summer operations. When we release more dates for summer I will let everyone know. We would like to see more trails before we open every weekend. It looks pretty promising for 2013 operations, as well as late season dates for 2012. As soon as I get more information I will post. My email is tfreeman@skibeech.com if anyone has any questions.
You should see our website live and all information regarding nationals posted on April 16.
Thanks, T
In September of 2011, Beech Mountain Resort Inc. was the first resort in the Southeast to host USA Cycling’s Mountain Bike Gravity National Championships. The success of the event spurred an interest in the cycling community, prompting resort management to further the progression of a lift-accessible mountain bike park. This summer, the resort plans to continue the expansion of a unique trail system with a strong focus on beginner terrain.
“We feel a beginner trail is needed to expand the terrain to offer a downhill facility for all skill levels,” says General Manager Ryan Costin. “We hope that with the construction phase this year, that will be accomplished.”
Christopher Herndon of Brevard, N.C. will return to oversee trail development and prepare the course for USA Cycling Mountain Bike Gravity Nationals Championships. The 2012 National Championship event will take place July 18-22.
Beech Mountain Resort has set additional dates for the much-anticipated Summer Mountain Bike Race Series. The events will occur on the weekends of June 16, August 18, and September 15. The two-day race weekends will offer dual slalom events on Saturday and downhill events on Sunday. The first race weekend, June 16, will serve as a qualifier for Nationals.
