Replying to Help - Sugar Mountain Vs Beech (North Carolina Resorts)

Non-skier/snowboarding friends (12 or so) want to take a trip to Ashville and ski for a day while we're out there. Haven't been to Sugar or Beech but it's between those two spots.

Need to know which resort would be best for our trip. Any suggestions?

It's a group of people renting that probably don't even own winter gloves so the finer details won't matter. Just trying to avoid long lift/rental lines and shitty runs.

Thanks in advanced.
