New Snow?
Did someone say snow? No, this wasn’t a joke! Yesterday, most of Maine received a few inches of powder! Sugarloaf had their guns pumping out that white gold earlier this week. Although it was only for a couple of hours, it still will help them make it to April 22, the date they need to make 150 ski days. Sunday River also had their guns going last night. Pared with the few inches of natural snow, This weekend should be a good one!

RFID Gates:

Is your pass not working? Ask yourself these questions:
-Did I reload my day ticket online? If yes, you still need to visit the ticket office to make sure the pass is activated.
