Overall
Sunday River is among the best ski resorts in New England. It ranks high for snowmaking, grooming, modern lifts, and a long reliable season starting in October and often the first ski resort in New England to open. Halloween skiing through April, even May is where the River shines. We ski all over the globe and find the best snowmaking and grooming at The River on eight peaks of ski terrain. We also get the most skiing in here with the speedy well-located lifts connecting the eight peaks from White Cap to Locke Mountain, to Barker, to Spruce, North Peak, and Aurora, to Oz and Jordan Bowl. Sunday River is the second biggest ski resort in Maine after its sister ski resort Sugarloaf.

Sunday River is large for an East Coast mountain. It has a few different peaks and gives you the opportunity to move around and avoid some crowds.

Sunday River is a great place for people to learn how to ski/board and progress. There is a good variety of terrain and plenty of space to disperse people. While it doesn't snow quite as often, powder days are great, especially at OZ and Jordan Bowl.... Moreadvanced snowboarder

One of the most expansive resorts in the east, Sunday River does all it can to open the earliest and stay open the longest. Very committed to their grooming and slopside accommodations.
