Great mountain. Most obnoxious city folk stop at Sunday River to drink, party and show off their new clothes. Best part of distance from metro areas is no (?ed). I say again no lift lines. Just ski 'til you drop. My son learned to ski/snow board here 26 years ago and is now gainfully employed at Jackson Hole ski area. He still loves Sugarloaf and calls it “The Jackson Hole of the East”. Some bad publicity with a couple of lift mishaps but all have been replaced and now have a quick ride to the top. IF you love skiing this is the place in the east.
