Mark our words, December 2nd we will be in a true Arctic airmass. Coldest since two Decembers ago. 🥶 🌬️ 🧊

This could mean more rolling blackouts in the power grid. ⚡️

Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, North Carolina. Friday, November 22, 2024 – Sugar Mountain Ski Resort in Avery County, North Carolina opens today for the 2024-25 winter season! Snowmaking temperatures dove into the North Carolina Mountains late Wednesday night and have remained in the teens and 20’s ever since. In addition, overnight Mother Nature blessed the ski slopes with another seven inches of natural snow.
Today, ten to thirty inches of man-made & natural powder and frozen granular snow covers seven of Sugar’s twenty trails. Rideable slopes include Easy Street, Northridge, Switchback, Upper and Lower Flying Mile, Tiny Tim, and the Magic Carpet area. The high-speed, six-passenger Summit Express chairlift, which transports skiers and riders to the mountain’s 5,300’ peak is open. For beginners, the high-speed, four-passenger Easy Street chairlift and the Magic Carpet conveyor lift are both operating.
The full-day session of skiing and riding runs from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. The half-day shift begins at 12:30 p.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m. The twilight and night offerings will be available in the coming weeks.
The snowsports school, the equipment and clothing rental shop, the sports shops & gift shop, and the group sales department are all fully operational. Childcare will be available beginning Saturday. Sugar’s 10,000 square foot outdoor ice skating-rink is expected to open in the coming days while the tubing park should open in early December.
Roads, restaurants, accommodations, and many other amenities and attractions in the North Carolina High Country are open and eager to welcome visitors.
