Opening Day for the 2025/2026 Ski Season!

Today at 1 pm on a crisp late fall day Appalachian Ski Mountain opened for the 2025/2026 ski season. The sun shone bright, the slopes were snow covered and the temps were chilly. Perfect for opening day . Below are photos we shot today as the first skiers and snowboarders of the season headed to Boone For information on reservations visit Appskimtn.com

Live Music with the Soulamanders Jan 21

After a great day of skiing there’s nothing more relaxing than sitting down to enjoy good food, drinks and music. Beech Mountain provides all of this at the Mountain Brewing Co. Taproom and Grill at the ski resort, which is open to all ages. An event scheduled for next week, on January 21, features the musical talents of the Soulamanders!


The Soulamanders are a musical duo, Levi Trent and Derek McKnight. The two musicians grew up in Southwest Virginia and their music is influenced by folk, reggae and Americana genres.

Exploring Todd, NC for Kayaking and Tubing

Bridge to Todd’s Island in Todd, NC

Are you thinking about summer activities already? I know I am! Let me tell you about my recent discovery, Todd, NC.

I recently found the place to go to for kayaking and tubing, Todd, NC. You can learn more about Todd here

This past week I drove through a town I had always wondered about but had never visited. Todd, NC is located about 15 minutes from one of our cabins, Tanglewood. I am certainly going to visit again in the warmer summer months.

Why? Todd runs along the South Branch of the New River. So, it would be a fantastic place for a lazy ride down the river in an inner tube. Or maybe I’ll even try kayaking.

Do those activities sound like fun? Since Tanglewood is only 15 minutes away it would be a great place to stay and explore Todd. Also worth exploring is another town which is going to be my next adventure, West Jefferson.

Beech Mountain Brewing Co.

Other than the slopes themselves, one of the most important facets of a trip up the mountain is the amenities there. And on Beech Mountain, the most popular amenity is Beech Mountain Brewing Co.

Located in the Beech Mountain Resort village, the brewery is open to all visitors, not just those staying at the resort. It is a bi-level facility with a fireplace and hardwood floors throughout. On Friday through Sunday, you can try the latest creation that the brewery has cooked up.

Every Friday is a different live music performance. Coming up on January 3rd at 6:00 pm is A Welcome Distraction.

There is also a variety of food to eat at the brewery. For instance they have fried green tomatoes, chips and salsa, chicken wings, quesadillas, hamburgers, and more.
