I'd get the combo if I were you....unless you live significantly closer to 1 or the other, then just get the pass for the closest one.

sunday river is obviously the best choice but if both are of equal distance go for the combo, otherwise if SR is your choice, fuck the loaf, always cooolldd and windy, plus willy skis there so it makes it that much gayer. jk willy, your good at skiing, and you look good on the camera.

the combo pass is only like 2 tickets worth extra i think at least for 13-18 so if your gonna go more than twice get the combo

Yeah like Willy said, both are going slowly down the drain, but whatevs. SR has a decent jib park, jumps are pretty bad haha. Nonetheless, its a fun place for a weekend shred. If its between the two, just get the combo pass.. the student pass combo is almost the same exact price for just one mountain, so you might as well get too. If you can afford the pass with all three (sunday, sugarloaf, and loon) I suggest you do so.. All in all, none of the mountains are boring to say the least. The park can get old, but its better than nothing.

Sunday River and Sugarloaf are both very different resorts.  Each has specific advantages and disadvantages.  You should ski them both, multiple times so you can come to your own conclusion.

Fair warning, I worked in marketing at Sunday River for MANY years.  However, I also would ski Sugarloaf.

bitch please. SR is full of gapers and bad skiers. sugarloaf has more vertical and challenging terrain as well. the loaf is a real skier's mountain.

i wouldnt go that far... the loaf might be windy but that doesnt mean it isnt a sick mtn that has produced some of the best freeskiers out there. heat harvest makes SR look like a park haven but rocking chair has gone way downhill in the last few years, and without a kickass park they've got nothing on a 4,200 foot mtn with legit vertical. to the thread creator...get the combo

SR rocks the rails and boxes, but they have no jumps, or shitty jumps most of the time.

Sunday River by far I dont knoww why every one is hating on sr's jump line. Hip to 30 footer to 50 foot stepdown or hip option. Or the right side of rocking chair which was alright.
