The cost is $109. The long holiday weekend is as good a time as any to celebrate Sugar's 40^th anniversary. Numerous specials, such as the Turley Treat, are planned to commemorate the milestone throughout the winter of 2009 -10.

If uncooperative weather prevents Sugar Mountain from being open Thanksgiving weekend, then the offer is good for four non-holiday weekend sessions.
