CARRABASSETT VALLEY, Maine - The snow keeps falling at Sugarloaf, where 10 more inches of powder piled up on Wednesday, Feb. 13. Maine’s tallest ski resort has received 153 inches (more than 12 and a half feet) this season, with nearly 3 feet of snow falling this month alone.

Thanks to the recent snowfall, the mountain’s fabled Backside Snowfields, a right of passage for many skiers and riders, opened back up this week. The double black diamond, above treeline terrain is loved for its wide open expanses and dramatic pitches.

“It’s unlike any other skiing experience in the East,” said Frank Guerriero, Sugarloaf’s marketing director. With 360 degree views that extend from Mount Washington to Canada and beyond, Sugarloaf’s summit and Snowfields mark the highest elevation of any resort in Maine and New Hampshire. But even if you’re not ready to take on the advanced terrain of the Snowfields, all Sugarloafers can enjoy the summit experience on beginner and intermediate trails.

Ski & Stay packages are still available for the month of February, starting at $99. Call 1.800.THE LOAF for reservations.
