This is a great place for families. Ski school is top notch and had my 4 year old solo on blues after 3 lessons. Lots of trail variety with plenty of blues and greens, and I love the goat path as an intro to tree skiing. Maine in general is gorgeous too.

Sunday river is great with a ton of variety- ungroomed, groomed, moguls, etc. but they completely oversell the mountain. Half the time when I come at 9-10am they are already out of parking. They sometimes shuttle people from the golf course to the mountain, but I know if theyre doing that the lifts are nightmares. The lines for lifts are not lines- they are mobs. It looks like a concert some days. And lift attendants do nothing to prevent cutting and maintain some semblance of order. Its a great mountain but I wish they maintained a bit more order. Besides the chaos, they do a great job of blowing snow year round, are always open later in the season than most other northeast mountains, and have a large variety of trails to ski.

Sunday River It is a large mountain, very cheap considering the size, and in comparison to whats closer to me in Pennsylvania. Its a great overall mountain with good beginner to expert terrain.
