 Its time to look forward to The Big Kahuna--Sugarloaf Mountain. This
bad-boy is one of New England's finest, and also happens to be one of the
three mountains included in the New England Ski pass.

Sugarloaf is one of the highest elevation mountains in New England (Maine's
second highest!), with the summit peaking at 4237 ft. It also features a
bit of something for everyone featuring 138 trails with different
difficulties evenly distributed (34 greens, 44 blues, 39 *blacks*, and 21*
double blacks*), 3 distinct terrain parks (beginner, intermediate and
advanced) as well as a nice long trail stretching 3.5 miles.

Of particular note is the backside of the mountain, featuring especially
challenging and interesting double-black glades. We can only describe
Sugarloaf as "epic". Are you up to the challenge?

With snow forecasted for this week and next, we are expecting sweet
conditions for those brave enough to to ascend to the mountain. This place
tends to be cold, however, so dress appropriately.
