Area Description
 Sugar Mountain is the largest ski area in North Carolina by about 20 acres (total of 115 acres of skiable terrain). Sugar is located in the beautiful
Village of Sugar Mountain, right off of Hwy 184. Sugar Mountain also boasts the largest vertical drop (1200
feet) in the state.
The popular mountain offers some great stay-and-play ski packages with area lodging companies.
The lodge at the base of the mountain offers ski and snowboard rentals, cafeterias,
a lounge, a sports shop, a locker room and
a gift shop.
Sugar also offers snowshoeing (unique to the area), a
snowboarding park that is closed to skiers, and a 700-foot-long tubing park that is fun for the whole family!
Dramatic Scenery!
 Sugar Mountain may offer some of the most dramatic panoramic views from atop their mountain. The ride to the top is notoriously slow, however it is worth every minute as you will experience some of the best views in the region.
SkiSoutheast.com and
SkiNorthCarolina.com have long advised visitors to the area about Sugar Mountain's great beginner terrain. Easy Street, which is
somewhat segregated from the main slopes, offers a gentle grade that is perfect for new skiers and snowboarders. Also, for those who are a little "anxious" about riding high chairlifts, you will love the lift on Easy Street, as it will allow you to get acclimated for when you're ready to move up to more challenging trails.
Advanced skiers will want to try Tom Terrific, Boulder Dash and Whoopdedoo, which are all favorites for more experienced skiers. Whoopdedoo is the only double-black diamond trail in the area.
 Want a little Competition?
Sugar Mountain's racing program includes weekend NASTAR races and highly competitive invitational races. There are many types of races scheduled during the season for competitors and spectators. Snowboarding comps, youth racing and more.
Lodging Profile
The perfect place for adults to end a day of fine skiing is within the Last Run Lounge, located in the base lodge. They offer all of your favorite adult beverages and you can hang with your friends and perhaps even make some new ones. The Last Run Lounge offers televisions (usually showing the weather channel or sports), great snacks and a warm fireplace.
