Sugarloaf may be best known as an alpine skiing resort, but tucked away in the woods just minutes from the base area is Maine’s largest Nordic center, featuring a spectacular newly renovated lodge. The Sugarloaf Outdoor Center offers cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on 90 km of groomed trails and ice skating on an NHL sized rink. The Outdoor Center hosts numerous Nordic races and family friendly events throughout the season. Trail conditions are updated daily on our Conditions Page, and you can check out our entire trail network on the Outdoor Center Trail Map.

Located in the Sugarloaf Mountain Hotel, 45 North is the resort’s newest restaurant.

Climb high up the mountain at night in our 20 person passenger snow cat to a secluded mountain restaurant, where a candlelit gourmet feast awaits.

Located at the top of Bucksaw Chair, Sugarloaf’s on-mountain restaurant has doubled in size and expanded our American Bistro menu. Stop by and grab a hot cocoa or some lunch and kick back on the alpine deck or come inside and warm up before heading back out on the slopes. Lunch served daily.
