Overall
Although quite small in size, Sugar Mountain is one of the two largest resorts in the region. Located in Banner Elk, North Carolina near Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain has longer and more difficult runs of the two. Crowds can be an issue here as there is only a slow double chairlift to take skiers to the top. Off-mountain, the resort doesn't have the best après ski so head to nearby Boone instead.

The lifts and facilities are top notch, and honestly the terrain is pretty good too. The acreage is obviously limited, what with this being in North Carolina they can only make so much snow.

Sugar Mountain Resort is a nice resort to learn to ski at. Although it is not the best for more advanced skiers. Also the snow isn't good at all unless you come while it's snowing. Can also be very icy at times. ... Moreadvanced skier

Limited snow since this is in the south but one of the best along with Beech Mountain which is better in my opinion since it is higher elevation. Beech Mt is not on your list... Moreadvanced skier

One of the better resorts in NC. My top choice in the state. Speed lift now makes it a lot better than before. Terrain park is rarely open though. Like the option of 2 blacks and an easy blue at the top of the mountain. Very Good!4 / 5Oct 04, 2017

The only resort that I have been to here on the east coast. Lots of fun to ride. I really enjoy the terrain here. I hope this next season is epic. I have been to west coast ski resorts and moved to the east. Still exploring resorts here.
