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!

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 150! Five-Star reviews on our site.

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, Firestick TV, 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!

2nd stay, loved it!
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

our 1st ski in/out experience
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!

Best ski trip, Ever!!!!
The property was perfect, right at the top of the run/ski lift. We were able to walk out of the property and ski down the mountain to the resort. At the end of the day, we rode the lift to the top, where my wife had hot chocolate and warm food. It was wonderful! The hosts were communicative, and everything was super easy. :-) would love to come back here a few times a year!

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!!

A charming place with thoughtful amenities
This condo has everything you need: toiletries, facial wipes, washer/dryer, Keurig, king-size bed in the master, cleaning supplies, Clorox wipes, pool towels, etc. The cabinets in the kitchen are labeled so it's easy to find everything. The condo is LESS THAN 100 FEET from the ski lift. Did I mention how clean this place is? It's pristine. Definitely recommend. It's our go-to for weekend getaways in the mountains.

Label me impressed!
Very well-kept place, especially for a ski condo. Check-in easy, beds comfy. I love the labels on all the kitchen cabinets making it a snap to find everything and quite a fully stocked kitchen too I might add. It’s a very clean and buttoned up rental; the owner’s pretty much think of everything you might need. The trail is literally a 30 second walk away. The back deck affords decent views of the trail. I would recommend.

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 ❤️

Excellent stay in Sugar Mountain
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at APPres-Ski! The location was perfect, a true ski in-ski out with a short 50 step walk to the slope. The hosts had great communication, from a question we had just after booking to a follow up with items we accidentally left behind after checkout and in between. They were quick to respond, helpful and so kind! Everything was cleverly labeled in the condo and it was well appointed. We had plenty of room to all (family of 6) relax and play games after a day on the mountain. The condo was warm and cozy and welcoming, especially liked the Christmassy touch!

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.

Perfect spot at Sugar!
Sometimes you just need to get away and actually relax...Apres Ski is the spot if you want to unwind at Sugar Mountain! We just finished a long weekend up here and it was amazing. The location speaks for itself. Step outside, lock your bindings, and you are off for skiing/snowboarding. Easy access on/off the slopes for snacks or lunch. We could let our teens do a few more runs even after the adults were ready for a break... Lifts are super convenient to Oma's Meadow. As far as the condo, it is laid out efficiently and comfortably for a family to enjoy some time together. Side note...the master king bed is incredibly comfortable (and a real blessing after all day on the slopes). The kids reported that the bunks in the other bedroom are also very comfortable (and they are picky). Washer/dryer is a lifesaver to get gear ready for a night session. The ski closet is lockable and keeps your gear out of the condo and secure (strongly recommend the multi-day rental at Highland if you need gear). The living area is cozy for the whole group. The smart tv and cable worked great for Super Bowl Sunday! The balcony overlooks the woods on the mountain with a partial view of the lift to Oma's Meadow and the slopes. It really shines at sunrise with coffee! We appreciated the well stocked kitchen as we ate every meal at the condo all weekend. The owners have gone the extra mile to provide all the essentials and plenty of nice surprises. Bottom line, this condo is completely set up for a family wanting to spend max time on the slopes during their trip. We could have driven up the mountain, parked the truck, and never had a reason to drive down the mountain until we had to reluctantly make the trip home. You won't be disappointed here; we couldn't have asked for anything more and we will be back!
