BIG News From Sunday River:
Just announced – Two new lifts will be taking skiers and riders up the mountains of Sunday River. A new Merrill Hill Triple will access the back side of the mountain and add to the Real Estate options and ski-in, and ski-out house lots. Also, the most highly anticipated announcement, a brand new, Doppelmayr High-Speed, 6-Person Bubble chair will replace the Barker Mountain Express. Both lift upgrades are expected to open for the 2023-2024 ski season. For the latest on the Sunday River 2030 project, click the link below.

Weather:
Make sure to bust out the sunscreen – trust me, you’ll need it! We have endless sun on tap and the temps are looking more like summer temps. Get out there and make the most of it. Just be safe and apply sunscreen when needed.

Enjoy the sun!
