www.beechmountainresort.com

Man the weather this weekend was awesome...we spent pretty much all of both days outside. But, as a friend said on Facebook, "It's January...I want to eat a bowl of chili by a roaring fire." If you're looking to get back into winter mode, too, we have a great suggestion for you...head west to Beech Mountain Resort. They are celebrating 45 YEARS of skiing, and they have an amazing assortment of activities for the whole family to enjoy. January is Learn to Ski & Snowboard Month, and there's a great poster contest going on for 3rd to 5th grade students (see image above). And don't miss this Saturday, January 19th...Kids Day at the Sledding Hill. Back to lows below freezing later this week!!


And get this...the awesome folks at Beech Mountain Resort are giving one luck Buzz reader a Boys' Marmot Jacket, size Medium...perfect for the cold that's coming!! Head to our Facebook Page and enter by Thursday at 11:59pm!! 

Blessings,
