Every day, twice a day the slopes at Sugar Mountain Resort are meticulously groomed. This season the resort has added a second Pisten Bully 600 winch groomer to the current fleet. This new powerhouse groomer provides extra hold and increased safety on the mountain. It is especially useful for grooming Sugar’s signature slopes like Whoopdedoo, Gunther’s Way, Tom Terrific and Boulder Dash. With the additional terrain of the Gunther’s Way slope and the reconfiguration of the mountain’s trail and lift system over the past two years, the new Pisten Bully 600 winch vehicle will help maximum grooming productivity and enhance the Resort’s effort to provide the best maintained snow surface possible for skiers and riders.
After twenty-five years of autumn tradition, it’s time for another Oktoberfest on Sugar Mountain. Time for family and friends to join hands in song and dance, salute the fading summer, and herald in the change of seasons with an eye toward winter sports at Sugar Mountain Resort.
Oktoberfest’s annual date, the second weekend of October, almost always assures the timely appearance of the sugar maples’ brilliant mantel of color, setting once again, the autumn stage on Sugar Mountain.
Sugar Mountain Resort’s spectacular Fourth-of-July fireworks show can be viewed from the mountain’s 5,300′ peak on Saturday, July 2nd. The fireworks show, sponsored by the Village of Sugar Mountain Tourism Development Authority, will begin around 9:30pm. The Summit Express chairlift will run from 10:00am until 10:00pm on Saturday, July 2nd and Monday, July 4th for special mountain peak fireworks viewing.
Visit Sugar Mountain this summer. Every weekend beginning July 1 and ending Labor Day Sunday from 10am until 5:30pm Sugar’s high-speed, six passenger chairlift, the Summit Express, will transport guest’s to one of North Carolina’s highest peaks and back down again. Taking in the magnificent views of the surrounding mountains, leisurely strolls along the mountain ridge, intensive hikes, family time, alone time, indulging in a picnic, or just breathing in, over and over again the fresh, clean, mountain air are just a few ways to spend time on Sugar Mountain.
