Another year of SMARL – Sugar Mountain Adult Race League – has come to a close.
Just finishing its 14th season, SMARL consists of six Monday races in January and February at Sugar Mountain Resort. Known for its camaraderie and bringing together the local skiers and snowboarders, the after-work, beer league sells out each year with zero advertising or promotions.
It’s so popular, in fact, that the league has to be capped at about 100 participants, so everyone – staff, volunteers and skiers and snowboarders – can make it home at a decent hour.
“It was another great year,” Matt Leonard of Ski Country Sports said.
The Sugar Mountain Resort teams took top honors again. Team Sugar placed first in the ski category, above Banner Elk Café and Ski Country. Sugar Ski School won the snowboard team category, edging out Edge of the World and Team Southeast.
