Overall mountain I'd say sugarloaf... or at least on a pow day. Sunday river definitely has a better park.

One is open and their lifts fall over.

The other is in limbo and getting bought out by the skiers as a co op maybe and their lifts just have haul ropes fall off

Never mind. That is Saddleback. I can't keep track of all these ski areas that no one goes to.

Sugarloaf is pretty fun, their park isn't that bad compared to Sunday river and they've got a new park manager this season I've heard

The river is really tight for sure their parks in my mind have continued to get better over the last couple years. Sugarloaf just always has a perfect like pretty standard park with some dope features still. The fact that you have to ski some of the best terrain on the mountain just to get to the park every lap at sugarloaf is the stand out favorite part for me. Makes you have just as much fun on the run down as you do in the park

Are we factoring the drive to get there in? Sugarloaf is a fucking bitch and a half to get to. My biggest complaint is that you can't even ski those upper mountain snowfields properly because you get 2 turns in and then have to slam breaks for the main cat track that cuts across them way too high up on the mountain. SR can also be great skiing when there is no natural snow around. Loafs the better mountain 100% though.

Sugarloaf for me no doubt. Although I'm not even going to pretend to not be biased.

That's also why Saddleback has by far the best snow conditions out of every resort in Maine... You get the whole damn mountain to yourself...

...and Sunday River isn't? Living in Maine driving to SR is like making a trip to NH. And snowfields are ight but on a pow day if you're not hitting Hell's Gate or Brackett what are you really doing with your day?
