Sugar Mountain Resort, Skiing and Snowboarding

‘Tis the season to be jolly, well almost, but if you are an avid snow lover, then these cooler temperatures can only mean one thing, it’s time to ski. I recently took a trip to the Sugar Mountain Resort located in Boone, NC. If you are into fast trails, no waits, and an all around fun skiing experience, then Sugar Mountain is the place to be. Sugar Mountain is one of many ski resorts located in the North Carolina mountains and is arguably, and in my humble opinion, the best resort in the area. If you are from Atlanta, Florida, or anywhere else in the southeast, making this relatively short drive this winter with the family is a must. Sugar Mountain is located in the small town of Boone, NC, but don’t be distracted by the word small, there are many places to be if you are into fine dining, shopping, site seeing, and much more. There are condos located all the way up and down the mountain side, with many condos located right along the slopes. 

Sugar Mountain is the ideal place for beginners. The Big Red slope is just perfect. They label it as an intermediate slope, however, I believe it is ideal for the beginner. It is not too long, and not too short, and straight forward. There are no sudden turns, trees in the middle of the trail, or any other major obstacle. So book your slope side condo along side the Big Red trail. Sugar Mountain is home to twenty trails for both skiers and snowboarders. With over 115 acres to ski on and a long run of over one and a half miles, even the most experienced skier/snowboarder will enjoy his or her stay in Sugar Mountain. If staying at the top of the mountain in the slope side condos, do not worry about having to drive a long way to get to the grocery store or local shops, it is a short two mile drive to everything you need. For those beginner’s, don’t worry, there is a heated pool and a hot tub located within walking distance or inside of your residence to heel those bumps a bruises.
