    sugar is where I spend my money

    Pros: It has the best slopes around

    Cons: price, overcrowding on weekends

    I live in Kingsport, Tn and for me Sugar is the best place in proximity to where I live. Sugar needs to adopt some of the discounts like its neighbor Beech which... Full review

    Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain

    Pros: Best vertical around, real black diamonds, lotsa lifts & a sweet view

    Cons: Snow machines, ice, crowds, bare spots & parking

    Given the level of suffering and danger generated by the impressive arsenal of snow machines, they must be the first item mentioned. Sugar Mountain is not willing to cease and desist snow... Full review

    cold day at sugar, MLK 2009

    Pros: good snow, decent terrain variety

    Cons: painfully crowded on MLK weekend

    This was our (me, wife, and 2 daughters 10 and 7) second trip to sugar mountain, prompted by an unexpected day out of school for the kids on the Friday before MLK... Full review

    Great resort when it's not crowded

    Pros: Lots of great terrain at all levels

    Cons: Kinda expensive, would be a lot less fun if crowded

    I hit all three local resorts (Appalachian, Beech, and Sugar) on consecutive days, so I think I can give a decent overview of the relative merits of each. I'm pretty much a... Full review
