At various times throughout the season, kids can enjoy bumping into Sugar Bear, the Sugar Mountain mascot, throughout the property or on the slopes. Every year, the Snowsports School hosts a birthday celebration for Sugar Bear who invites his friends and the public to participate. Activities include the Great Bear Race, special treats, and cake and ice cream.
Another fun treat for the kids is the visit of Santa Claus during the holiday season. He can be found walking around the lodge greeting people and even out on the slopes making some turns.
