Sugar Mountain Resort Hosts The Sixth Annual Sugarfest
SUGAR MOUNTAIN RESORT, NC – SugarFest kick starts the winter season with a weekend of pure winter fun! Sponsored by the Village of Sugar Mountain Tourism Development Authority (TDA) and hosted by Sugar Mountain Resort, SugarFest will be held December 13th and 14th, 2008.
The sixth annual two-day festival is packed with a long list of winter activities and coincides with Sugar's 15th Annual Adult Preseason Ski Clinic where 1994 Olympic Gold & 1992 Olympic Silver medalist Diann Roffe and two-time (1992 & 1994) Olympian, Krista Schmidinger will both be special guest coaches.
Both Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am until 3:30 pm the 2009 ski & snowboard equipment from just about every manufacturer displayed in store showrooms will be available for demo. Salomon, Volkl, Nordica, Burton, Head, Never Summer, K2, Atomic, Dynastar, Rossignol, Ride, Line, and Nidecker are just some of the brands available each day to demo. You must have a valid driver's license or credit card in order to demo the equipment.
Sugar's ice skating rink, located next to the Dave Nixon Pro Shop adjacent to parking lot D, will be open, and with Mother Nature's cooperation, tubing will be open as well.
"Ready, get set, go!" is what you'll hear if you enter the snowball eating contest at 3:00 pm on Saturday, December 13th. You'll have two minutes to eat as many tasty snowball look-a-likes as your stomach can stomach!
Be sure to bring the whole family to watch a thunderous and spectacular fireworks display at the base of Sugar Mountain Resort, Saturday evening at 5:45 pm. After a hard day of skiing and snowboarding there's nothing better than good food, warm drinks, and fun music. Come dance and/or listen to live music by Boss Hawg from 4:00pm until 7:00pm.
Don't miss the Edge of the World/Burton Rail Jam Expression Session at 12 noon on Sunday as talented snowboarders pull off some of their best tricks. Later in the day marvel as blocks of ice become beautiful winter works of art.
And while you're here why not stay for a night or two! Save up to 30% off when you book your lodging with Ski & Country Club, Sugar Mountain Resort Accommodations & Realty, Resort Real Estate & Rentals, or Sugar Mountain Lodging.
SugarFest is a great time to enjoy winter! For more information please contact Sugar Mountain Resort at 800-SUGAR MT. For a complete list of events and times please log on to www.seesugar.com/sugarfest.
