and jason, beech and sugar tend to get icey at night unless there's real snow as well, but sugar seems to be a little better about grooming to keep the ice down though. now they just need one of those high speed lifts like beech .
i've done 12-15 hours straight at both cataloochee and sugar before (opening to midnight)...nothing like ice being blown at you at 100mph. For some reason i like skiing in snow storms...i love going up the lift and you can't tell if there is even a person on the lift in front or behind you then when you get to the top and you can't even see the bottom of the first little drop
