The snow is piling up, and the mountain is getting ready for its busiest time of year.

The Snowy Landscape of Maine’s Big 3

Maine’s Big 3 ski resorts – Sugarloaf, Sunday River, and Saddleback – are nestled in the heart of the state’s winter wonderland. The snow-covered peaks and valleys create a breathtaking landscape that attracts skiers and snowboarders from all over the world.

The History of Sugarloaf Mountain

Sugarloaf Mountain has a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century. The mountain was first developed as a ski resort in the 1940s, with the construction of the first chairlift in 1947. Since then, the mountain has undergone several transformations, including the addition of new trails, lifts, and amenities.

Rangeley is a small town with a population of less than 2,000 residents, but it has a reputation for being a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts.

The Saddleback Mountain: A Climber’s Paradise

Saddleback Mountain is a behemoth of a mountain, standing tall at 4,173 feet (1,269 meters) above sea level. Its sheer size and rugged terrain make it a formidable challenge for even the most experienced climbers.

Expect to see opening dates announced soon for all three of these mountains as we inch closer and closer to ski season. I know I’m ready. Are you?
