APPresSki - 5 bed Ski in Ski out - 50 Steps to Ski Sugar Mountain Slopes
appresski com Welcome to APPrès-ski! We are THE CLOSEST Ski In Ski Out Access to Ski Sugar’s main corridor slopes! Cozy for couples, perfect for families. Walk out Ski! ZOOM THE MAPS, YOU'LL SEE!
2 Coveted SLOPE TOP Parking Spaces Directly Adjacent (50 Steps) to Sugar Mountain Resort Ski Slopes and Mountaintop Chairlift | 2 Bedroom, 2 Full Bath Condo (Sleeps 6 comfortably) | Casper KING Bed in Master | Comfortable 4 Bed Bunkroom | Kitchen | Dining and Living Room with Scandinavian Lay Flat Couch
This classic mountain top condo is set 5,000 feet atop Sugar Mountain with SKI-OUT and SKI-IN access to two of the best runs on the mountain. The balcony overlooks a lovely wooded area and Sugar's mountain biking trails. It is part of Sugar Ski and Country Club, an exclusive mountain top community with new pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, tennis, pickleball courts, and a gated entrance.
We consistently hear from our guests – WOW, the pictures just really don't do this place justice! Admittedly, even though we've tried our best to provide travelers a 360-virtual tour on our main site, the space is best experienced live on the mountain. See the over 171! Five-Star reviews on our site, or 10 of 10’s on others.
Why APPrès-Ski:
ACCESS - SKI and Snowboard from where you eat, sleep, and lounge! We are 1 of 3 end-unit condos that are the Absolute closest to Ski Sugar's main corridor slopes – Sugar Slalom and the Bottom of Switchback (Any other map pins near are just not in the correct location; be sure to inquire when researching). It is 50 steps from the door to Sugar Slalom, or you can walk or ski easily to Switchback. Additionally, we are similar walk distance to Oma's Meadow, the best kept secret on the Mountain. Sugar completed Oma's multi-million-dollar infrastructure investment with the install of a brand-new 4 passenger, Doppelmayr high speed quad chairlift. The resort also invested in enhanced snow making capabilities in order to open this local favorite slope sooner in the season.
PARKING – AVOID THE MASSES, THE LINES, BUS, and OVERFLOW LOTS at the Resort. We offer parking at the slope; we are literally right beside the access point. You can park, then ski or board immediately. We are in Sugar Ski and Country Club, NOT in the Sugar Top condos, so you park directly in front of our building. No walking uphill or shuttles to lower parking in our complex. One thing to note the road leading to our complex is state maintained and our HOA provides snow removal for our buildings. While conditions can always be challenging during the season, this helps alleviate some of the complexities that you might face at other direct slope access housing at other mountains. 4-wheel/AWD drive still gets mandated by village at times in the winter.
VIEW – Right at 5,000 Feet, our CORNER unit windows and deck provide refreshing views of the mountain, valley, and all the ski and snowboard action.
ACCOMMODATIONS – Our unit and the KING master is perfect for couples looking for a cozy mountain ski getaway. However, we also have the unique ability to host families. Please see the details and/or contact us for our sleeping configuration.
THE AFTER SKI AMENITIES – Save time, money, driving, and hassle cooking your own meals at your own place right off the slopes! Use the time saved from parking and driving to connect with your people! Sugar Ski and Country Club is the ONLY complex in the High Country that provides our guests a Pool, Jacuzzi, and Sauna right off the slopes! Other amenities include a new clubhouse, workout room, meeting space, outdoor picnic tables and grills, and ski hangout huts. SSCC is also the only facility to have an Electric Car Charging station at the top of the mountain, coming through for Tesla and other electric car drivers who do not have options for miles!
WARM UP ROUTINE – Hit the SAUNA, HOT TUB, take a swim, or the workout room for a few reps to warm up the legs before hitting the slopes. GEAR UP far away from the crowds in the comfort of your own building. Stretch and put on your boots in a climate controlled environment with no rush. FIRST TRACKS – 9am opening and the 6pm restart are waiting just for you to shred Sugar's freshly groomed snow!
The condo features over 900 square feet of indoor living space, as well as a private balcony. This unit is a corner unit, providing maximum privacy and wonderful views. It's a great space for families, couples, girls or guys weekends, and kids of all ages.
The condo was furnished with families in mind. The decor is all mountain-based, from the skis and snowshoes on the wall to the bear accents that make Sugar Mountain so unique. Inside we wanted CLEAN (our home ALWAYS will be) and we wanted amenities. We offer the convenience of one-level living with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a well-appointed fully stocked kitchen, a separate heated ski closet, flat-screen TVs in each room, washer and dryer, high-speed internet, cable and Netflix availability, wireless chargers for phones, FireTV stick, and 2 Roku TVs.
We always provide our guests with linens and towels, dish soap, hand soap, laundry detergent, other cleaners, and other “little” things that one might forget when packing. We also provide STARTER SETS of paper products like paper towels and toilet paper. Although we don't inventory other items, some essentials often stay stocked such as assorted spices, cooking oil, sweeteners, etc. We want you to be comfortable and your stay to be easy. Come visit us for your snow sport vacation!

What an easy and great place to stay. The manager was also very responsive and helped make our stay wonderful. I would recommend this place for ski in/ski out and great place.
5 Stars all around! We stayed at the property to a quick trip to board at Sugar. The place had everything we needed and the check in/out process was a breeze. The host made sure we had everything we needed - going above and beyond in all accounts. The kids loved being able to hop in the hot tub after a day on the slopes. We are already talking about another trip!
Quick trip to get our ski fix! Great place! Love the proximity to the trails.

Fun family trip for Mountain Bike Race
Absolutely love the condo and the hosts!!!! I would highly recommend staying here any time you come for either skiing or mountain biking, or just a nice trip away. We hope to be able to come back again!!
An incredible location right on the slopes of Sugar Mountain! A true ski-in and ski-out. The condo is cozy and has everything you could possibly need, which made the trip that much better. The host should teach a class on how to be a host because there was no detail untouched in the condo, they truly thought of everything. Beds are good, sheets were nice, everything was super clean. They also have pool/hot tub access at the club house which is just a quick walk outside and is a great place to relax. Our 6 yr old loved the pool! The balcony is lovely overlooking nature and it's fun to watch people ski down while you're sipping coffee and gearing up. We will definitely stay here again!
The host was a great communicator. The place is clean and well stocked. Very thoughtful hosts!

Great place, surprisingly spacious!
I thought a little mountain condo would be tight, but it didn’t feel that way! The living room especially feels spacious and was a great place to hang out with a beautiful view. The owners include so many little niceties in addition to the regular toiletries - art supplies, coffee pods, makeup wipes, even fuzzy socks! We went in the off season and the ski slope was a great (and quiet) place to walk and reach some gorgeous views. This place is a real find!
Cannot wait to stay here again! Every word of the listing is true. Location is pure gold. Owners could not be more accommodating and were quick to reply to every question and need. Well stocked, super comfortable, kitchen has everything you could need. Great selection of books, cards and games. We had a fabulous time here and made some great memories! Highly recommend
Great stay yet again at pauls place, lovely mountaintop views, when we arrived their was snow on the balcony, & the last day we stayed there was a big snow storm that was just awesome. Even though omas was closed, I did find out this visit, that there is a short walk right over to switchback. Not a bad walk from the place during the earlier season. Pauls communication was great & warned us of incoming snow our last day in town. Cant wait to visit again

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
We went to Sugar Mountain for a mountain bike race. The accommodations were fantastic! Very clean, comfortable, and beautiful! The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking supplies I needed. I could look out the back deck and watch a section of the race course during the practice. We would love to stay here again! I highly recommend it! Our host was so helpful and kind. They were amazing!!
Great property- location was amazing & very convenient, especially having kids that vary in ages & interests. It was very convenient for each of us to go back & forth to the condo & allowed everyone to ski/snowboard as much or as little as desired. The location/convenience also kept us from needing to eat in the lodge which saved money & allowed for healthier meals. Paul & Morgan were very responsive from booking through our stay & the condo was well organized & stocked with needed items. We will definitely look to stay here again- our kids agreed it was one of our smoothest ski adventures yet!

A MUST STAY!
They thought of everything! Right down to extra pool towels and toiletries if you forgot any. Everything was clearly labeled, and they had some secret hidden jokes that we enjoyed. The porch was calm, quiet and amazing day or night. We spent hours just sitting and enjoying the view. There was plenty of space for all our things and it was so easy to cook and bake with everything neatly labeled. It was also super close to the grocery store. By far, my favorite place I’ve stayed in the mountains. It’s also the perfect setup for ski season. I can’t wait to go back ❤️

A Cozy Retreat at the top of Sugar Mountain
Our stay at the ski condo atop Sugar Mountain was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled right on the slopes, the ski in and ski out access made hitting the slopes a breeze. But the convenience didn't stop there; the heated pool and jacuzzi provided a relaxing retreat after a day on the mountain.
Inside, we found everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The full kitchen and washer/dryer were invaluable amenities, allowing us to save money on meals and dry our gear with ease. The beds were comfortable and I had no problems sleeping.
Beyond the amenities, the owners truly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Their hospitality and helpfulness were unmatched.
Without a doubt, we'll be returning to this ski condo when we come back to Sugar Mountain. It's the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and hospitality, making it our top choice for the future.

The perfect summer mountain vacation
Our family's stay at APPres-Ski was one to remember for sure. The property is located on top of Sugar Mountain, only feet away from Oma's Meadow and Sugar Slalom slopes. Although there is no snow in the summer, it is still gorgeous and it feels special to be so close to the ski lifts. There were mountain bike trials just under our balcony. We enjoyed seeing the young men and women make their way through it while having the tasty coffee provided by APPres-Ski and breathing the fresh, cool mountain air in the morning. This cozy condo had everything we needed, and so much more. This place is perfect for home bodies and active visitors alike. If we were not relaxing inside on the comfortable furniture watching a wide range of TV options; we were cooking, playing board games, or just enjoying the awesome views from the balcony. At some points, all of that was happening at once. When you are ready to be out and about, the condo is within 10-25 minutes of many worthwhile experiences. Our children and adult company visited the clubhouse when on-site and took full advantage of the features. Big pool, sauna, jacuzzi, fitness gym, and multi-purpose room. If you're a social person like I, you will meet wonderful people, if you want to stay to yourself, this community is quiet, respectful, and can provide a privite experience as well. All in all, you wont find a better place to escape the heat in the summer.
This is a great place to stay when visiting Sugar Mountain. If you plan to use the Ski in/Ski out, you may need to have skied before--it's not on an easy hill for beginners.
This place rocked! Lift is 100ft from the condo, you can just ski down and purchase the lift tickets at the bottom, hosts were great & will def stay again!
