SugarFest kick starts the winter season with a weekend of
pure winter fun at Sugar Mountain.
Sponsored by the Village of Sugar Mountain Tourism Development
Authority (TDA) and hosted by Sugar Mountain Resort, SugarFest
will be held Dec. 13-14.
The two-day festival is packed with a long list of winter
activities and coincides with Sugar’s 18th annual Adult
Preseason Ski Clinic, where 1994 Olympic Gold and 1992 Olympic
Silver medalist Diann Roffe and two-time 1992 and 1994 Olympian
Krista Schmidinger will both be special guest coaches.
Both Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., 2009
ski and snowboard equipment from Salomon, Volkl, Nordica, Burton,
Head, Never Summer, K2, Atomic, Dynastar, Rossignol, Ride, Line
and Nidecker will be available for demo.
Sugar’s ice skating rink, located next to the Dave Nixon
Pro Shop adjacent to parking lot D, will be open, and with Mother
Nature’s cooperation, tubing will be open as well.
“Ready get set go!” is what you’ll hear if
you enter the snowball eating contest at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
“You’ll have two minutes to eat as many tasty snowball
look-alikes as your stomach can stomach,” a spokesperson
for the event said.
“Be sure to bring the whole family to watch a thunderous
and spectacular fireworks display at the base of Sugar Mountain
Resort, Saturday evening at 5:45.”
After a long hard day of skiing and snowboarding, there’s
nothing better than good food, warm drinks and live music by
Boss Hawg from 4 until 7 p.m.
“Don’t miss the Edge of the World/Burton Rail Jam
Expression Session at noon on Sunday as talented snowboarders
pull off some of most spectacular tricks,” the spokesperson
said. “Later in the day marvel as blocks of ice become
beautiful winter works of art.”
In addition, there will be special lodging rates for the weekend,
offered by Sugar Ski & Country Club, Sugar Mountain Resort
Accommodations & Realty, Resort Real Estate & Rentals,
and Sugar Mountain Lodging.
