Best Ski Resort in Maine: Sunday River - Overall Rating Rating 4.46

Sunday River delivers a fantastic mix of terrain across its eight peaks. Our reviewers mention that the mountain offers great variety, from wide groomed runs to challenging off-piste options. One Snomad community member liked that "even on the busiest weekend days" you can find "trails all to yourself." The tree skiing gets particularly high praise, with excellent powder stashes for those who know where to look. While some users note issues with crowds and parking on peak days, the mountain's extensive snowmaking operation and terrain parks earn consistent acclaim. The gondola provides a welcome respite on frigid Maine days.

#2 Sugarloaf - Overall Rating Rating 4.44

Sugarloaf stands as a powerhouse in East Coast skiing. Our reviewers mention that it offers incredible terrain variety, from freshly groomed runs to challenging tree skiing and the unique snowfields. A user who is an advanced snowboarder said it's "the best in the east, hands down." The mountain has recently expanded with West Mountain terrain, spreading out skiers and enhancing the experience. While the weather can be bitter cold with winds affecting summit access, the ski school gets consistent praise from families. The village atmosphere delivers a proper ski town vibe with spots like The Bag and The Rack earning mentions for après. Perfect for experienced skiers looking for serious vertical.
