    Been to Sugar before. I remember that hill. Isnt that the only slope they have-lol?

    Best bet on the east coast is to go to Snowshoe or Winterplace in West Virginia.

    Nice pics though..

    it's the highest/longest slope in NC...still only takes me about 1 minute to get to the bottom But they have a another slope on the other side of the trees (standing at the bottom looking up it would be the farrr left) then you have the medium slope that comes down from the top instead going down the double black and then you can split off several places towards and past the snowboard park area. i also get back on the lift halfway down in the center so you don't have to wait at the crazy long ass lines at the bottom

    I've never been skiing/snowboarding, and I really want to go. Is this place good? Close? How much is it to rent equipment? Anyone got any links?

    Cataloochee is the closest www.cataloochee.com/

    With a small group i can get the best deals at Sugar and rent the equipment from the place i normally stay at...they have all new equipment, it's cheaper than the lodge at the mtn, and you no waiting in lines.

    man that picture makes whoopdedoo look not so big . it looks gigantic from the bottom looking up. i like going down to the right, i think it's called boulderdash... and then the blue to the left is fun because you can play a lot on it with all the little jumps/drops off to the edges .

    that pics the center run right? pretty much just a straight smooth shot down with no moguls or anything? On the far right it's fun just to get a "running" start and jumping off...sometimes you can make it feel like your not in NC, lol...until you land on the ice below anyways I've done it in a blizzard several times where you couldn't see 20 feet below you

    The left side is fun when there's not a million people sitting on the edges...like cutting the inside corner in the hair pin and jumping...hoping you can cut fast enough not to go off the outside edge

    yeah, whoopdedoo is the bigass straight downhill with no moguls at all. you're right about the blue to the left, there are usually a lot of people that don't need to be up there trying to get down to the easier stuff and it gets kind of annoying dodging them... but i can usually make fun out of it .
