I was sent this web address to finally express my absolute disgust for what has become a "culture" at Sugar Ski Area in NC. The gross discrepancies in base snow depth reported by this owner has gone on for years and there is little anyone has done to stop this outrageous behavior. Example? January 2024. If you look at their website they are reporting a base of up to 70 inches! Are you kidding? My go-to Colorado resort is reporting a base of only 12 inches. Honest! a base of 70 inches would be many of the largest ski areas in Colorado, Utah and Cali combined! Consider a young family, perhaps new to skiing decides to go to Sugar Ski Area. The huge expense associated with a ski vacation is well known. Now to get to Sugar and see grass, especially on the tube sliding hill. Almost the snow has been man made and it is skimpy at best. 70 inches? It's deceitful and should not be allowed to continue year after year. If you call the area you will quickly learn that the staff is under orders not to divulge any info that may lead to the truth as to current conditions. I appreciate this forum to report this outrage. If you are a newbie to skiing, stay away! The nearby hill of Beech is not much better in the honesty department. Want to go skiing? Never Sugar Ski Area.
