ON TOP OF THE WORLD

Hop a ride on the Timberline Quad to the summit of Sugarloaf, where you can experience the only lift-serviced above-treeline skiing in the east. Be sure to have your phone ready, the views at the top are more than selfie worthy with Katahdin and Mount Washington as your backdrop.

ELEVATED DINING

End your day with a multi-course mountaintop tasting at Bullwinkle's at Night. Arrive by passenger snowcat to the mountain restaurant, where you'll dine on chef-prepared small plates inspired by cuisines around the world and paired with wine, beer or spirits.

MOOSE TALES

The story of Amos the Moose is a treasured tale at Sugarloaf. Amos was a friendly moose who followed the 'Bigelow Boys,' the first group of skiers to hike Sugarloaf and start cutting runs in the 1940s. Today, Amos and his friends can be found skiing with little Loafers on The Birches Trail or in their cabins serving up s'mores and smiles.

LOCAL HACK
