There are two official Snowriders trips left for this season. Next week we
are going to Sugarloaf mountain.
Sugarloaf USA <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.
*Tickets are on sale now, and sales will close* Wednesday Feb 22nd at 12pm.

With chances of snow over the next week, and spring conditions to soften
the primary surface, we are excited to head up to this mountain for one
last hurrah.
