Sugar Mountain Resort’s decades old gravity and cross-country mountain biking and hiking trail system‘s much-anticipated expansion is underway.

Enlarging, widening, and upgrading the current mountain bike park, building out expert terrain to offer beginner and intermediate line option choices from the summit to the base, adding features like rollers, small dips, and table tops are just a few of the compliments slated for the summer season. As a result, please observe all signs and beware of construction.

Summit Express lift service for foot passengers and mountain bikers begins June 30.
