The lights are on and snow making going full throttle to the Top of the Mountain at Cataloochee Ski Area overnight and this morning! Looking like an opening coming quickly and possibly by Friday or Saturday? The weather certainly will cooperate! 

I am seeing the potential of another strong cold front around Thanksgiving bringing the possibility of more snow. The extended range sure looks active as well.

33 for my low so far.

I assume I can drive to Beech Mountain without interfering with any Helene relief operations and/or recovery efforts. I am guessing they would be good for 4-6 or so.

You should be good (depending on the route you take). Beech and Banner Elk have both been trying to advertise they're back open for sensible tourists.

My plan was to go through Boone to 105 and through Sugar Mountain/Banner Elk to Beech.

I just drove that.  It's quiet up here.  There's a flagger on Beech Mountain Parkway because they are working on the shoulder but it's quick to get through.  I imagine that work will stop when it starts snowing.  Ski resort opens next week so people are coming one way or another.  Come on up and spend a couple bucks at Freds.  Hopefully we get a nice little event out of this.
