RSN Editors' Review
'The Loaf' is an award-winning on-mountain village beneath Maine's second highest peak, regarded by many as one of the top New England ski resorts. Sugarloaf places great emphasis on service quality, and it shows throughout the resort operation.

Sugarloaf's vertical is one of the biggest in New England and management is eager to point out that it exceeds that of some famous resorts in the West (including Crested Butte, Taos and Copper). Sugarloaf also competes well with those resorts in terms of terrain - big bump runs, a dozen glades and 129 trails over its 1,410 acres.

The rebith of Sugarloaf began in 1993/94 with a major expansion of the snowmaking system, now among the world's most powerful. Snowmaking now covers the infamous Front Face snowfields -- the only lift served above-treeline skiing in the East. The American Skiing Company acquired the resort in 1997 and along with it came the addition of two new quad chairs, new trails and 100 tower snowguns. ASC has also added a Grand Summit Resort Hotel, further broadening the amenities at one of New England's premier winter resorts.
