The McCouns from South Carolina will be telling a story for years to come, of how they got stranded during a ski trip in a blizzard, and a ski shop opened its doors offering them a warm place to stay the night.
Jake McCoun, 37, his wife, and their three children are from Greenville but his parents own a cabin in the mountains in North Carolina. The plan was to hit the slopes on Beech Mountain all day, over Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend. Their youngest would stay at grandma’s. Then they would drive home that evening.
