Itโs no secret that itโs been a rough winter on the East Coast so itโs great to see these two ski resorts doing everything they can to keep it going as long as possible: Sugarloaf & Sunday River
Sugarloaf:
- This is the latest theyโve ever made snow in their 65-year history.
- Made snow on Sunday and early on Monday and theyโll be blowing snow all day today.
- Theyโve made snow for 1,400 hours this winter!

โScrew it. When Mother Nature serves you a crap sandwich, sometimes you just have to say โThank you for this crap sandwich. Iโll take another.โโ โ Sugarloaf General Manager Karl Strand

โHe is bat-crap crazy. I mean truly nuts. Who the hell makes snow in April?โ โ Vice President of Mountain Operations Rich โCrusherโ Wilkinson

Sunday River:
- 87-days of snowmaking this year.
- Winner of the HKD I AM a Snowmaker Award
TEMPERATURES:
Temperatures are going to be great for snowmaking in Maine today with a high of 26ยบF and a low tonight of 10ยบF. Hopefully they can get enough snow on the ground today to keep skiing fun into the weekend.
PHOTO TOUR:
I reckon you can make snow in April when winter (temperatures) were awful and you barely put a dent in your snowmaking budget! (And you can bring skiers in a little longer and make a few more bucks)
