It's Great To Be 40!
Sugar Mountain, North Carolina – Sugar Mountain Resort celebrates 40 years this season! The Resort opened in 1969 with four lifts and eleven slopes for skiing. Since then Sugar has grown to include seven lifts and twenty slopes for skiers and snowboarders. Winter activity offerings have expanded over the years to include snowshoeing, tubing and ice skating. A timeline of Sugar's major milestones can be found online at www.skisugar.com/forty. 40th Anniversary events and specials will be going all season long. Our website will announce each 40th Anniversary event or special as it becomes available.
Again, slope conditions continue to be a top priority here at Sugar Mountain Resort. Overhauling Sugar's snowmaking infrastructure continued throughout the summer with the replacement and upgrade of 2,500 feet of snowmaking pipes along the Big Birch slope. An additional energy-efficient snowmaking machine has been purchased for the upcoming winter season.
Also new this season is the installation of an elaborate scanning system designed to make the entire winter experience friendlier and easier for Sugar's customers while providing the ability to maintain and monitor more concise and accurate control of lift/slope tickets on the mountain at any given time.
Our event schedule is packed with activities throughout the season. A few of the highlights include the Turkey Treat. For one low price, you can ski/ride any one session of the four days of the Thanksgiving weekend. Diann Roffe, 1994 Olympic Gold & 1992 Olympic Silver medalist and two-time (1992 & 1994) Olympian, Krista Schmidinger will again guest coach at Sugar's 16th Annual Adult Pre-Season Ski Clinic scheduled for December 11th -13th. Sugarfest will be held that weekend as well. From December through March twice a month enjoy the acoustic sounds of North Carolina High Country bluegrass. On January 9th, Sugar will once again host a National Winter Trails Day, a nationwide event offering children and adults the opportunity to try snowshoeing for FREE and the Easter egg contest is scheduled for March 21, 2010. The entire event schedule can be found at www.skisugar.com/calendar.
Join us for our 40th season as we strive to make Sugar even sweeter. For additional information please call Sugar Mountain Resort: (828) 898-4521 x262 or visit us at www.skisugar.com/press.
