Sugarloaf is a very well-developed resort, located in the pretty mountains of Maine.

The north-facing mountain holds its snow well and thanks to comprehensive snowmaking, snow reliability has improved significantly in recent years. There’s a good pod of beginner terrain at the foot of the mountain, with longer blues and some steeper tree-runs further up the hill, just note that the lift system is a little antiquated. The jewel in the crown however for experts is the cat-skiing, operated by the resort itself, which runs on Burnt Mountain to access an extensive area of un-groomed steep terrain.

There is a good selection of accommodation at the foot of the hill, ranging from family-friendly condos located right on the slopes, to several hotels with good facilities. There are also some decent restaurant options, including a microbrewery, but if you’re staying in a condo, pick up some supplies on the way up to the resort and self-cater.

Getting here requires a 2.5 hour drive from Portland, or a 4 hour trip up from Boston, but the drive is fairly easy, utilising interstate highways for much of the route.

Snow Overview

USA

Updated 07/04

The sad demise of Left Coast skiing continues this week, with more resorts shuttering with each passing day in the wake of what is now officially a record-low snowpack in Utah. Temperatures remain mild throughout this forecast period across the Rockies, PNW, and Tetons, with a few bursts of rain along the way.

Things may turn colder into the weekend with a few flurries of snow, but whether there is a snowpack left for this to boost is anyone’s guess.

Out on the Ice Coast, things start this period cold and snowy, but rapidly turn mild as the freezing line leaps over tall buildings in a single bound. Things will fluctuate slightly, plus a flurry of rain in to start the weekend to keep things interesting.
