Sugarloaf is a very well-developed resort, located in the pretty mountains of Maine.
The north-facing mountain holds its snow well and thanks to comprehensive snowmaking, snow reliability has improved significantly in recent years. There’s a good pod of beginner terrain at the foot of the mountain, with longer blues and some steeper tree-runs further up the hill, just note that the lift system is a little antiquated. The jewel in the crown however for experts is the cat-skiing, operated by the resort itself, which runs on Burnt Mountain to access an extensive area of un-groomed steep terrain.
There is a good selection of accommodation at the foot of the hill, ranging from family-friendly condos located right on the slopes, to several hotels with good facilities. There are also some decent restaurant options, including a microbrewery, but if you’re staying in a condo, pick up some supplies on the way up to the resort and self-cater.
Getting here requires a 2.5 hour drive from Portland, or a 4 hour trip up from Boston, but the drive is fairly easy, utilising interstate highways for much of the route.

Snow Overview
USA
Updated 20/12
A slow and steady season looks to be on the cards for the USA, with continental high pressure continuing to box out influxes of low pressure off the Pacific keeping things generally mild and dry for this period. The Left Coast itself – including PNW and Sierras – will see temperatures at mid-mountain hovering around freezing, with a few bursts of snow coming in at times. This will be felt the best in the PNW, where Sunday and Monday could see about 10cm down.
Further inland, high pressure dominates, keeping things cold but otherwise fine, dry and bright for the Rockies and Tetons.
Out East, a bitterly cold snap moves through the region accompanied by a few floccons to keep things fresh over the weekends, with overnight lows of -30°C (-22°C) possible. Things improve as the Christmas week begins, with more sunshine and less cloud in store for this period, and temperatures climbing albeit staying cold – just less cold than the weekend!
