Beech Mountain is a forested summit reaching 5,506 feet in elevation and home to a ski resort with lifts, runs, and forest trails. The terrain spans multiple slope areas surrounded by dense trees, offering routes for different skill levels.

The area was developed as a ski resort in 1967 and has grown into a year-round mountain destination with seasonal activities and events. The resort's creation brought winter sports infrastructure and ongoing development to the region.
