Skiing in North Carolina?!! Help!!

I’m thinking of heading up (from Atlanta) to one of the ski areas in NC this weekend, either Sugar Mountain or Ski Beech. Sounds like they’ve had a lot of fresh snow, etc. Which has more advanced skiing (assuming there is any) or is better overall?

Is one better for apres-ski? :cool: Are there any fun bars with bands, etc., a 20’-30’s crowd, basically where the cute ski bunnies hang out? Or are they all family places? Any recommendations?

Hang on…I’ll ask my hubby. He’s a NC native son, so I’ll get the scoop for ya.
