no prob..would hate to see you go to Sugar just to make 1 steep, boring pedal up the middle of a slope and then turn around and go straight back down the mountain. In fairness to Sugar, they did cut a new XC course but from what I understand it made the descent shorter as opposed to longer.
Last time I went to Sugar we tried the XC trails...the maps were almost useless in guiding you to where they are supposed to be. When we asked a guard about the directions we couldn't even finish the question when he ranted about not knowing about any trails and how he wished "you bikers would leave me alone." We finally found the trails but they didn't turn out to be worth much...went back to the lift an did the DH runs.

You left out the fact that Sugar was in a FEMA declared distaster area due to severe flooding that occured 1 month prior. Remember the cross tie staircase backfilled with gravel being completely empty of gravel and all of Mitchell County was in the midst of filing for federal assistance funding.
Not an excuse...just a fact about that 1 particular trip.
Ah, the good ole days.
I remember Sugar making all the families walk down from the top that day, including a bunch of pregnant women, because they had too many people on the lift. Nothing like seeing a bunch of pizzed off rednecks with thick moustaches marching toward the bottom of the mountain demanding a refund.
Quality experience.

I don't think it was the walk down. I think it was the fact that they were without the constantly flowing international brews at the bottom.
Could you imagine hitting the hill in search of all that beer, taking a quick ride up the lift...only to be stranded and forced to walk down as your buzz is wearing off. It'd be like shutting off the taps on St. Patrick's Day for 2 hours and making the locals watch National Geographic....
