Sugarloaf Reviews & Ratings

Great experience for a first snowboard trip. Great mountain to learn on ski school was super great. Can easily visit the summit and ride down as a beginner. Friendly spot with great food

Very family friendly resort! A good amount of lifts and slopes were closed but the staff did everything they could to make what’s left a great experience. Food was great as well, lots of options. There’s a very nice restaurant about half way up the hill as well that has a great apres ski, but it closes at 3 so make sure you get there early. Overall a great experience and would recommend for family’s and kids looking to visit.

great skiing, love the tree, lacks in after hours option. limited restaurants and night life. only one spa and its dated

Absolutely Love this place. and the people. Great slopes and accomodations. Friendly service and would definatewly recommend.

my experience was really nice at the loaf its definitely more of a skiers mountain but awesome experience. the slopes were really nice well kept. the whole lodge was cozy everyone was nice

I'm a Sugarloaf season pass holder so I'm biased. The mountain has had very little natural snow this year, but the groomed surface is really excellent. With the opening of the new West Mtn terrain it has really spread out skiers, and added to the resorts appeal. There is excellent tree skiing stashed all over the mountain. All we need now is for mother nature to cooperate and give us some fresh snow. The Bag, Brickyard Hollow, and slightly off mountain The Rack are all great options for food and drinks.

Good assortment of difficulty levels and lifts to access different parts of the mountain. Burnt mountain area has been developed much more over the years for increased terrain. Family friendly and something for everyone at Sugarloaf.

I have been going to this beautiful hill since I was a child! It has a special place in my heart. My son stood on his first set of skis at the age of 2. They have the best ski school for both kids and adults. The ski out accommodations are fantastic and the food is great in the village.

But far the best ski bum/ski town vibe I have experienced anywhere on the east coast. Awesome bars on the mountain and great apres (and during) ski vibes

The ski schools are great! The programs are the best. They have this part dialed in, it is a great family mountain.

The apres and bar scene is quite good and fun. The rack is great but you have to drive to and from wherever you are staying.

The grooming used to be the best anywhere now it is not at all the best and needs some QA / QC. The snow quality (man made) is still unbelievable.

It does seem a bit like they feel they are granting you the privilege of skiing there..... IMHO the customer service (not across the board) could use a revisit.

We do love this mountain and certainly an Icon of the East

Absolutely love this place, returning this season from Toronto for another stellar week. The best in the east, hands down.

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.

Remote
Quiet
Beautiful
Challenging and cruising
Big Eastern resort
Great spring skiing
Can be extra cold!
Great ski school

Classic east coast ski m, with great food, a chill atomosphere and reasonable rates. Parking usually isnt a huge issue. Lift lines are busy on the weekends but not like west coast resorts.

Great mountain kids programs outstanding the trails all converge on one area so kids can just go and you know they can find their way back. Dining and accommodations are excellent. Snow quality is good from the significant snow making system. Customer service ok .. feels a bit like theyre doing you a favor by letting you be there. Bottom of the list for grooming seams and anomalies along with churned up dirt are very common. Overall an experience you dont want to miss but in the past theyve been better.

Get there early and lap a higher lift. Amazing views on a clear day and some fast skiing too

As an intermediate to advanced skier, I feel that Sugarloaf provides me with the perfect range of options to hone my skiing talents. From freshly groomed terrain to an awesome terrain park and tree runs, they really have it all. Additionally, they are equipped with some of the best snow making technology in the northeast, providing some amazing powder zones.

I unfortunately had a rough fall a few seasons ago and was quickly met with extremely friendly resort members, as well a super helpful ski patrol team. There is no where else I would recommend skiing in Maine, id youre on a budget and not looking for something too pricey.
