Sugarloaf Reviews
Sugarloaf has over 100 runs. Lots of snow cannons. 4 or 5 super quad lifts and has the highest vertical in the Northeast. Sugarloaf is a place where if you want to be challenged you will be. Conditions are difficult at times, but if you can ski Sugarloaf you can ski anything. It also has the snowfields if you feel a need for powder and off trail skiing.
