Dec. 14, 2012. The highly anticipated annual SugarFest will kick off tonight at Sugar Mountain.
Festivities will begin tonight with an ice-skating performance by Olympic silver-medalist Paul Wylie and friends for patrons to watch.
“At the performance tonight it will be really exciting to have a silver-medalist here at Sugar Mountain,” said Kim Jochl of Sugar Mountain. “Its inspiring to see someone who got to the top of his profession. He will probably bring the silver medal with him so that should be a fun interaction.”
During the evening’s skate show on Sugar’s 10,000 sq. ft. outdoor ice rink, delight in the beginning of the three-day SugarFEAST. To keep you warm and well-hydrated a hot chocolate and whip cream bar will flow creamy, smooth chocolate pleasures.
Saturday’s activities begin at 9 a.m. with consumer demonstrations on the slopes until around 4:00 p.m. Participating brands include Salomon, Volkl, Nordica, Burton, Head, Never Summer, Atomic, Dynastar, Rossignol, Ride and Line. Bring your boots, register, and test drive the ‘good stuff’. The SugarFest demo is brought to you by Ski Country Sports.

Live bluegrass music from SugarFest’s favorite local music group, BOSS HAWG delivers a footstompin’ good time. The Last Run Lounge will feature SugarBrew’s award winning “best in show” Southern Tier, Choklat, Porter brewed in Lakewood, NY. Of course, a good ole German beer, Spaten will be on tap among others.
