Area Description:
Sugar Mountain is the largest ski area in North Carolina by about
20 acres (total of 115 acres of skiable terrain). Sugar is
located in the beautiful Village of Sugar Mountain, right off of
Hwy 184. Sugar Mountain also boasts the largest vertical drop
(1200') in the state.
The popular mountain offers some great stay and play ski
packages with area lodging companies.
The lodge at the base of the mountain offers ski and snowboard
rentals, cafeterias, lounge, sports shop, locker room and gift
shop.
Sugar also offers snowshoeing (unique to the area), a
snowboarding park that is closed to skiers, and a 700' long
tubing park that is fun for the whole family!
Dramatic Scenery!
Sugar Mountain may offer some of the most dramatic panoramic
views from atop their mountain. The ride to the top is
notoriously slow, however it is worth every minute as you will
experience some of the best views in the region.
SkiSoutheast and SkiNorthCarolina has long advised visitors to
the area about Sugar Mountain's great beginner terrain. Easy
Street, which is kind of segregated from the main slopes offers
a gentle grade that is perfect for new skiers and snowboarders.
Also for those who are a little "anxious" about riding high
chairlifts, you will love the lift on Easy Street, as it will
allow you to get acclimated for when you're ready to move up to
more challenging trails.
Advanced skiers will want to try Tom Terrific, Boulder Dash and
Whoopdedoo which are all favorites for more experienced skiers.
Whoopdedoo is the only double-black diamond trail in the area.
Want a little Competition?
Sugar Mountain's racing program includes weekend NASTAR races
and highly competitive invitational races. There are many types
of races scheduled during the season for competitors and
spectators. Snowboarding comps, youth racing and more.
Après Ski?
The perfect place for adults to end a day of fine skiing is
within the Last Run Lounge, located in the base lodge.
They offer all of your favorite adult beverages and you can hang
with your friends and perhaps even make some new ones. The
Last Run Lounge offers televisions (usually showing the weather
channel or sports), great snacks and a warm fireplace.
