Sugarloaf

Sugarloaf (formerly Sugarloaf/USA) is a ski area and resort located on Sugarloaf Mountain in Carrabassett Valley, western Maine. It is the second largest ski resort east of the Mississippi in terms of skiable area (1, 360 acres or 550 hectares after Killington's 1, 509 acres or 611 ha) and snowmaking percentage (95%); its continuous vertical drop of 2,820 feet (860 m) is the second longest in New England (after Killington's 3,050 feet (930 m)). Sugarloaf recorded a total of 352,000 skier visits in the 2005–2006 season, ranking it second among Maine resorts and 11th in New England. At 4,237 feet (1291 m) Sugarloaf Mountain is third in elevation to Maine's highest peak, Mount Katahdin. It is second to Hamlin Peak, an adjacent spur of Mt Katahdin. It has the highest peak elevation of any ski resort in New England (just 8 feet above Killington's 4, 229 foot summit) and offers the only lift-serviced above-treeline skiing in the Northeast. The Appalachian Trail crosses within 0.6 miles (0.97 km) of Sugarloaf's peak and the summit offers 360-degree views of Maine's western mountains and New Hampshire's White Mountains. In 1960, Sugarloaf had five ski runs, three t-bar lifts, lift fees were US$4 per day (or $24.50/week), and the ski season was from approximately December 1 to April 30. As of January 2025, there were over 65 miles (105 km) of marked trails and a total of 651 acres (263 ha)
