Sugarloaf
This destination Maine ski resort, started in 1950 by Amos Winter, features extensive terrain for all
abilities and a convenient village brimming with activities, great pubs and restaurants like the Bag
and Gepettos, shops, and resort lodging from The
Sugarloaf Mountain Hotel and the Sugarloaf Inn to
Sugarloaf condominiums.
Sugarloaf 2020
is a major expansion opening new glades in Brackett Basin and the
Eastern Territory on 3,595' Burnt Hill,
to
become the largest boundary to boundary skiing in the East (1,056-acres),
and upgrading lifts including the 2012 Skyline Quad that replaced the Spillway
double that de-roped in December of 2011. Sugarloaf has invested in
significant snowmaking upgrades as well, enabling them to open for skiing
earlier, Nov 9, 2012 and stay open late into April and even May thanks to
their high elevation.
Sugarloaf is host to World Cup races, national snowboard and
freestyle competitions plus events like Special Olympics, White
World Week, Reggaefest and The Snowball.
Seth Wescott, Gold Medal Snowboarder makes his home here, owns The Rack restaurant, and makes frequent appearances.
