Sugar Mountain Resort Looks Forward
To Another Exciting Winter Season
Sugar Mountain, North Carolina – Coming off one of the most successful seasons last year with a record 140 consecutive skiing days and record skier visits, Sugar Mountain Resort continues to look forward to making winter as sweet as sugar.
As always slope conditions continue to be a top priority here at Sugar Mountain Resort. The long-term plan to replace and upgrade all snowmaking pipes continued this past summer. Three-hundred thousand dollars has been spent on Sugar's snowmaking infrastructure. Specifically, on the Tom Terrific or eastern side of the mountain, three-thousand feet of snowmaking pipes were replaced and upgraded from the 3/4's unloading station of the Yellow (Summit #1) and Gray lifts (Summit #2) to the top of the mountain. The base of the Sugar Slalom slope was widened and additional snowmaking machines have been purchased for the upcoming winter season.
The Yellow lift, named since 1969 after its color was changed to a more indigenous gray. As a result the Yellow lift has been renamed to Summit #1 while the Gray lift is now known as Summit #2. Six-hundred new ski packages and one-hundred new snowboard packages have been added to Sugar's rental fleet.
Our event schedule continues to be packed with a plethora of activities for a diverse group of patrons. A few of the highlights include special guest coaches, 1994 Olympic Gold & 1992 Olympic Silver medalist Diann Roffe and two-time (1992 & 1994) Olympian, Krista Schmidinger for Sugar's 15th Annual Adult Pre-Season Ski Clinic scheduled for December 12-14, 2008. On January 10th 2009 Sugar Mountain Resort will once again host a National Winter Trails Day, a nationwide event offering children and adults the opportunity to try snowshoeing for FREE and an Easter Egg contest scheduled for March 22, 2009 name a few of Sugar's long list of fun activities offered throughout the winter season.
Sugar Mountain Resort's 10,000 square foot refrigerated outdoor ice-skating rink isn't new this year, but it continues along with tubing and snowshoeing to compliment the long-standing ski and snowboard activities available at Sugar Mountain Resort. The ice-skating rink is scheduled to open in early November.
Join us this winter as we strive to make Sugar even sweeter.
