We will return to Sugarloaf Mountain Resort in Carrabassett Valley Maine, where we have previously enjoyed the large expanse of varied terrain including the second highest peak in Maine at 4,237 ft.

We’ll be upgrading our lodging choice to the Sugarloaf Mountain Hotel. With a design inspired by classic New England farmhouses, the Hotel evokes the warmth of a rustic mountain lodge wih the convenience of a modern world-class resort. It’s located on the mountain, with ski-in/ski-out access to the main plaza and several ski lifts. The hotel amenities include a 30-person outdoor hot tub, fitness center including a steam room and sauna.

We have reserved double rooms for about 20 people (Single upon request). All rooms include a wet bar, mini- fridge, microwave, toaster and coffee machine. The hotel serves breakfast and dinner in the highly rated on-site restaurant 45 North. We will arrange for at least one group dinner outing. We’ll also be hosting daily apres-ski get togethers with snacks and beverages.

All trails lead to the slope side of Sugarloaf Alpine Village, which offers some restaurants and shops. In addition, besides alpine skiing, Sugarloaf also has The Outdoor Center, Maine’s largest Nordic center, for cross-country skiers tucked into the woods just minutes from the base area. The lodge has a full Nordic retail shop, rental center, and café – all surrounded by some of the most picturesque trails in New England. The Sugarloaf Explorer Shuttle provides transportation to that area along its route.

And for non-skiers, the Anti-Gravity Complex run by the Recreation Department is Carrabassett Valley’s home to indoor adventure with multiple sports and fitness activities such as indoor track, and weight room (daily fees apply). Check it out at www.carrabassettvalley. org/departments/recreation-department/anti-gravity- complex/.
