Sugarloaf offers a tremendous amount of consistent vertical drop, good snowfall averages, and a variety of terrain (groomed and otherwise). The lodging options are somewhat limited, probably because so few of the local second homes are rented on a short-term basis (their owners are too busy skiing). Sugarloaf puts its relatively northern location and higher base elevation to good use with a longer season than most, and it offers some truly unique terrain with the snowfields. Unfortunately, Sugarloaf also has some truly unique weather, which makes accessing the summit terrain something of a challenge. Winds can regularly affect lift operations and snow quality, and if skiing in sub-zero air temps isn't your thing, you should probably book your visit for April.

Great mountain but not for the beginners, a lot of black slopes and doubles diamonds, definitely for more experienced riders. Good snow quality and a fun place to be, a lot of restaurants around, its like a small town around the mountain

Sugarloaf has been my favourite ski destination for over 50 years. The skiing and trails are incredible. The views are breathtaking. The people are some of the nicest you will ever meet anywhere. The village is great and the accommodations are plentiful. There are some great resorts in the northeast, but none beat Sugarloaf.
