What is the Snowbird Surf Club? The name of our intentional community planned for 44 acres in Marshall, North Carolina, outside of Asheville. Informally known as the "old hippie retirement ranch", the Snowbird community is a way for a group of old (and new) friends to support each other and the land we live on in a sustainable way as we get older.
