Ride in the Clouds

For someone living close to sea level  it's a real kick to be in the clouds.  Were not talking about an airplane or balloon ride but rather a ride on a ski lift.  Ski Beech in North Carolina is the highest ski area in Eastern America.  The summit is over a mile high at 5506'.  I love it in the winter when one can start out under the clouds at the bottom of the lift and be over the clouds when you arrive at the top.  Skiing through the clouds is just great.  You don't ski, well now you can experience the same event in the summer.  Ski operators have found that people will ride the lifts all year long.  At Beech their is a bar/restaurant at the summit with a large patio and an enclosed area called the 5506'.  Sightseers and Mountain Bikers share the lift in the summer.  Numerous trails allow two wheel gravity sports enthusiasts a way to enjoy their sport without peddling to the top.  Hikers and those just enjoying the view get a ride both ways if they so choose.  Barbara and I love the ride winter and summer.  The link to the Ski Beech website.   http://www.beechmountainresort.com/
