Sugar Mountain Ski Resort is open today for skiing, snowboarding, and ice-skating. The tubing park is scheduled to open as soon as weather permits.
Sugar Mountain Resort, located in the mountains of western North Carolina will open its 10,000 square foot outdoor ice-rink this Friday, November 18. For available session times please view the ice-skating page.
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.
