We had a similar experience as the previous writer of extremely bad customer service at Sugar Mountain, NC. A child sat by accident on my son's coat. and broke the lift ticket wire.

My friend and I visited Sugar Mountain with our daughters last season. They have a nice mountain and good snowmaking. The day we were there it was bitterly cold with a 15-20 MPH wind.
