BEECH MOUNTAIN, N.C. — The Beech Mountain Ski Resort is closing its slopes Friday and Saturday due to forecasted cold temperatures and high winds.
The weather conditions will create dangerous conditions on the slopes, according to the resort’s Facebook post.
Beech Mountain’s plan is to reopen at 1 p.m. on Christmas Day.
All customers who purchased a slope ticket, childcare, Traxx or Burton Learn to Ride programs will be refunded, according to Beech Mountain.
The National Weather Service has a high wind warning in effect from 3 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday for the area. West winds will fluctuate from 20-30 mph with gusts up to 60 mph.
In the next 48 hours, snowmaking efforts will concentrate on Beech Mountain’s Upper Southern Star and Upper White Lightning black diamond runs to get the mountain's front side ready to open as soon as possible.
Tubing, Beech Mountain Brewing Co., and Ski Beech Sports will operate on a regular schedule. Events, including Santa and live music with Shelby Rae Moore, are on schedule.
