Compared to other resorts at this price range, this one is good, but nothing worth traveling out of my way for. Ill give them credit, the runs they had were great, couldn't ask for better, but for the price I paid I feel like I could have done a bit better. Although I believe they have since expanded the range of mountains to shred since I have gone... so probably a me thing this could be a better resort than I remember

Sunday River rocks. Great variety of terrain and the wide mountain layout makes it so that you can find areas that feel less crowded. Really nice off piste options for the northeast. Apres and local beer/food scene is top notch
