8th Annual Retro ‘80s Weekend Coming Up This Week at Beech Mtn. Ski Resort, February 21-24

Throw on your most rad 80s clothes and head out to Beech Mountain for Retro 80s Weekend!

Each February, the Town of Beech Mountain and Beech Mountain Resort come together to create a righteously rad celebration of all things ‘80s. The 8th annual Retro ’80s Weekend will take place February 21-24 with live ’80s music nightly, retro skiing daily, and plenty of throwback activities in between. Hop into their “ski slope time machine” to revisit the New Wave era of big hair, leg warmers, and Members Only jackets.

This year’s lineup of events is looking to be totally radical:
