Sugarloaf is the place to be if you are a dedicated hardcore east coast skier. Terrain like none other, and an amazing atmosphere to match. Sugarloaf the best backcountry skiing on the east coast and the grooming is certainly up to par. As for food, the bar located at the bottom of the mountain has a great atmosphere and great for apres-ski. All the people at Sugarloaf are dedicated, and make the trek to go up there every weekend. Sugarloaf is by far the best place to go on the East Coast.
