Best Ski Resort for Powder in Maine: Sugarloaf - Powder Zones Rating
Sugarloaf delivers some impressive powder opportunities according to our community. An advanced skier notes that the resort is equipped with "some of the best snow making technology in the northeast, providing some amazing powder zones." The mountain consistently earns top marks for its snow quality, with another user mentioning exceptional spring skiing conditions. A user who is an expert snowboarder from Canada rates the powder highly, declaring Sugarloaf "the best in the east, hands down." Be aware though - one Snomad community member warns that it "can be extra cold!" which explains why the snow stays so good.
#2 Sunday River - Powder Zones Rating
Sunday River offers a mixed bag for powder hunters. Our reviewers mention that the resort delivers solid snowmaking capabilities with opportunities for great off-piste adventures. One Snomad community member liked the "amazing woods skiing" while another pointed out the "great tree runs and powder stashes" across the mountain. While not legendary for deep powder (it is the East Coast after all), the mountain's wide layout and eight peaks help you find fresh tracks even on busy days. Advanced skiers particularly enjoy the Jordan side and the terrain on the right-side peaks, which tend to be less tracked out.
