People to ride with in NC

Originally posted by ABrad25 Good luck man i had no idea people even ride there

Sugar? They're the largest in NC and are a shorter drive than Beech. But, their lift takes 14 minutes to get to the top compared to Beech where it's under 5 minutes. Also, Sugar will charge full price for only having a few runs open or generally crappy conditions.

to the one complaining about the snow guns being on at sugar...how else are they supposed to make snow and have slopes open for YOU to ride...also, you can obviously tell when snow is being made, so if you're going to complain about it...stay home. what next??? complaining when it's cold??? it's snowboarding....man up.

i agree with you on that...the one quad that beech has is the only thing that sugar is lacking, that and a decent park...i have no complaints as far as the management goes, they have been more than great with me over the years. but as with any business, it can be hit or miss...

i hear you on the utah deal...nice...i ride at beech 5 0r 6 times a year but sugar almost everyday because i get off the lift at the top and walk to work each night. let's just say i get a season pass for almost nothing... : ) tom is open with the 15+ inches of snow we've gotten the past few days, but haven't been on it yet. they're opening big red tomorrow too according to kim jochl. i haven't ridden since saturday night because i tweaked my ankle pretty bad and have been walking around in a brace for 3 days, but gonna try it thursday and see how things go...enjoy beech tomorrow

I'll be at Sugar Mountain Friday,Saturday and Sunday. Possibly Beech too. Just hit me up if you want to ride.

Looks like winter is finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im loving it

Sugar Mountains webcam looks good. I wish they had the summit cam up and running

Thanks Orb...every time I look at the WebCam there are about 10 riders total....

Kind of nice to have the whole mountain to yourself!

I'd love to ride with any of you at anytime... just let me know!

So...taking my kids boarding for their first time as a family. I have a choice, Winterplace in WV or Cat...

Looking for a cheap alternative since I don't know if they will like it or ride all three days. Plan on going 22Dec-24Dec.

Any other suggestions. And somewhere where they have decent lessons for them.

We'll be at Beech Jan 8 and 9. Anyone else gona be around?

Thanks Orb:

I was thinking if I just stayed in Ashville, the kids (both teenagers) woul enjoy the Hippie lifestyle downtown if they didn't like boarding two days in a row. I figure Cat is only 30 minutes away from there so its not a bad drive each day!

dude if i had the money i would def go ride with you but im saving my money to ride sugar next week with my friend and his bro

So I hit up Cat on Wed (22 Dec) and Wolf on Thurs (23 Dec).

Cat was really slushy but it was 45 degrees out...made falling really easy on my daughter. The warm weather really brought the ice on Thurs at Wolf...being a noob I really had to concentrate on what I was doing.

Needless to say I had a blast. I even let two teenagers con me in to going to the top...how freaking stupid was I but it was a blast. I don't think I'll have a hard time managing the tougher runs as long as the conditions are descent but the ice was a bitch coming down some steeper sloaps.

Hope all are having a merry christmas...

Looks like today is the day to be on the mtns....17 inches of fresh powder throughout it seems...a beautiful sight.

Will anyone be at Beech Wed/Thursday?

I was at Sugar yesterday and it was PACKED! There were so many gapers everywhere. They would sit on hte other side of rollers and stay there and get mad when you sprayed them to dodge them. shtooking tourists.

Seriously thinking about going back up this weekend to Cat or Wolf..is anyone else going that way this weekend?

Leaving for Beech early Saturday am......Should be there by noon
