Full review

During our vacation (Feb 9th-12th) we visited Sugar twice. The lift to the top is slow but there are several places to get on or off. The direct lift to the top was not open during our visit. Big Birch and Northridge to Upper Flying mile were our favorite runs. They also had snow machines on during out night session one evening so the conditions were much better than earlier in the day. The mountain was challenging enough but especially great for beginners. The extremely slow magic carpet in the beginners area is a great motivation to learn quickly to get to faster chairs. The bus to/from the parking lot was very quick and convenient if you can't park up close and parking is FREE which is not always the case we learned at other ski resorts such as Appalachian ($1 parking, Hawksnest $3). The food was ok but not anything like Appalachian. Overall it was nice enough for us to visit twice and I'm sure if we go back to that area we will be visiting Sugar!
