You may visit Ski Country Sports main rental shop located at 3149 Tynecastle Highway, Banner Elk, NC 28604 OR at the Sugar Mountain Resort itself when purchasing lift tickets. Once you have checked in to your unit, you can ski down Oma’s Meadow when it opens up for night skiing at 6PM. After 8PM, you can purchase a day ticket for the next day so that you do not have to drive down the mountain again in the morning, so make plans to do that during one of your evening runs!
