As Ski Season Winds Down in March, Winter Returns With a Blast of Cold for Next Five Days

Today, the weather is sunny and the high temperature is in the 60’s. Tomorrow, snowmaking temperatures will return. This inconsistent weather pattern and a lack of natural snow have been themes all winter long. But the resorts have made do.

“Undoubtedly the snowmaking and grooming crews worked incredibly hard. They are always dedicated and reliable – and many have been at Sugar for years, so their experience is invaluable,” Sugar Mountain Resort’s Kim Jochl said. “Of course, the investments in upgrades and new snow making machines and groomers make skiing in North Carolina possible.”

The ski resorts in the High Country plan to remain open for two to three more weeks.
