Sugar Mountain   Just went to Sugar yesterday. It's only November but the snow was pretty OK. Can't wait til they open the whole mountain. Says Kyle. I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE AT SUGAR! NOTHING COMPARES TO IT! DONT GO TO THE IMITATIONS LIKE BEECH AND HAWKSNEST, SUGAR BY FAR IS THE BEST. Says Josh. Sugar is a JOKE! Beech and App are way better. Save your money and time on the lift for a resort that actually cares about their customers! Says Suga Suga Tue, 2 Nov     2010. This ski area has a comparatively humble mixture of ski slopes and enough good ski lifts to serve them all. This ski area has a much lower than average fraction of challenging ski slopes and a much higher than average ratio of green and blue ski slopes. Sugar Mountain has the greatest drop from top to bottom among ski areas in a 182 mile radius. The annual snowfall is lower than average at Sugar Mountain. This is a normal size ski resort having a quite towering vertical drop compared to other mid Atlantic ski areas. The 1,200 feet of drop from top to bottom is not that shaggy; it's sufficient to get some decent time on the runs between lifts. Because you're on this net page   you are probably into skiing or snowboarding, either way, around here, you'll encounter a lot of wonderful spots.
