Sugarloaf Early Season Setup

Just taking a minute at 6AM at the airport to drop a Sugarloaf Appreciation Thread.

Skied Sugarloaf on Saturday for the first time in 10 years and was FIRED up to see the best early season jib line they’ve ever had.

Honestly better than most anywhere I skied in high school and college on the east coast, top tier sesh zone for Thanksgiving weekend.

wanted to chime in here and say anybody in the region looking for a proper hike park (also lap-able from timberline) should absolutely make the trek to Jah loaf to get in on this.

also wanted to throw major props to the current STP crew because IMO sugarloaf is some of the best skiing on the eastern seaboard and I always felt like park crew wasn’t really given the resources it needed despite having the features, terrain, and demand for a world class park. No hate on past crews I just always felt like they were doing the best they could but feels like the resort is finally leaning into the park scene and the crew is putting the passion and time to make something dope for people of all ages. Loved to see the loc dogs, college kids, groms, and Flatlander Massholes such as myself all getting in on the action and some heaters getting thrown down.

needless to say, this fired me up so much that I hit a bunch of features on my Head Kore 98 rental skis and blew out of the demo bindings and ate shit, but it was worth it bc the vibes were all time.

Huge love for that kooky little corner of Maine that has and will continue to inspire the global culture.

Vibes on hill and at the base really were immaculate. Had me daydreaming of moving back east…

looks like COVID made everything pricey around there too tbh

Epic!! Saw that announcement video posted here(?) maybe?

they were talking about that when I coached and dug for STP in 2014 to try and make it like a Corinthia style park lift but nobody ever really seemed to think it would happen.

that will be so legit!! Infinite hot laps

fr tho been peeping @north_coast on the come-up recently, and despite my nostalgic bias for the 'loaf I actually think you guys are one of the best new(er) underground crews in terms of content. reminds me of early @chef.llc. I just love a film that tells a great story but with b-roll/scenics/timelapses/vibes instead of narration and interviews.

also want to bump perhaps the most slept on edit in NS history, Keegan Kilbride, Luke Brown, Sean Mullins with this 9 minute sugarloaf epic ft. MF Doom:

765020
So sick to watch these guys absolutely tee-off on the setup we had made. A little insp for your early december, cheers!

I’ve heard great things about BMoM, have a feeling that may become my spot. Def looking for some good BC, I was living 30 minutes from Jay that past 3 years so definitely going to miss easy access backcountry.

Spruce sounds legit! Love the mole hills, definitely going to check it out

The tree skiing bc at BMoM is unreal you can ski off the backside and tour to a whole other peak it’s crazy, along with a bunch of sidecountry on the frontside that is accessed by a short boot pack from the summit. Lift tickets are 30 bucks on Thursdays and Fridays this season, I should be there most Fridays
