Salsa Shack is still there but most other shacks were removed because trash was left in them this summer. Fortunately someone cleaned up the Salsa Shack before they inspected. Jaws is gone though, and America collapsed last year, no more shacks on the way to Haywire=/

if I remember correctly (I'm not so good with shack/chute names and locations) Jaws was a little bit too well known for my taste. not that I'm afraid of getting in trouble, but a lot of oldschoolers at the loaf know my father. awkward much? oh yeah.

I love sugarloaf, been skiing there and only there since 94, I'm saying this is going to be a good upgrade. Also, the prices won't be jacked up, it said so in both the press release and in the release to all carrabassett valley property taxpayers. I'm pumped for this and the upcoming season

Let's face it: Sugarloaf is the coldest place on Earth. It's already pretty friggin huge, at least compared to Sumday Bigger (SundayRiver), but its not going to make it any more appealing than it already is IMO. I like the idea, it makes Maine skiing a little more legit, but I'd rather go to Jay to ski trees then Sugarloaf at the moment. Maybe when they are done in 2020 it will be different.

Whats this talk about Killington being steeper than Sugarloaf? We all know White Heat at SR is the "Biggest, Widest, Steepest, Iciest, Dumbest" trail in the east.

u mad?

pretty sure the loaf has steepest terrain last I checked. Also, are you really that big of a pussy that you don't like the loaf because it's cold? pathetic dude. I mean sure jay has fucking legit trees, but the temperature argument is sad. Throw an extra layer on and pony up cowboy.

wow, im just going to completely reserve any comments I have regarding all the hate, since I work at sugarloaf.

Anyways, such a sick idea, and props to Roddy and the crew for making it happen!

Not to mention the fact that Jay isn't exactly the Bahamas. My coldest ski day ever was a few years ago at Jay Peak and I've been skiing the Loaf all of my life.

I seem to have forgot the notation for sarcasm, but who am I kidding I've lost touch with the NS community a long time ago.

I don't hate Sugarloaf because it's cold. I hate Sugarloaf because it sucks. I grew up in Maine so cold does not bother me, cowboy.  I don't need to list why I hate it, for it would just be a massive trolling post that would only cause more poorly written drama than I'm willing to read. I've dealt with enough SR vs. Sugarloaf and Gould vs. CVA drama to last a lifetime. You didn't understand my point, which was that this expansion is not going to make it any more appealing than it already is, when you can go to Jay and have a much more rewarding experience.

For the record, the golf course is awesome.

ok, seriously this needs to stop. Why the fuck are you hating on Sugarloaf so much. If its really that bad for you, go ski somewhere else, we dont want your negativity.

I'm not hating on Sugarloaf dude I have more love for that mountain than any other place in Maine. I'm really sick of defending my views because people can't handle the other side of the argument. I would be stoked if this turned out well, and I really hope it does, but I just don't have a lot of faith in Boyne. the way I feel about the mountain and the way I feel about the company running it are two totally different things. Sugarloaf is home. always has been, always will be. nothing can change that.

To be honest, i'm really surprised that there aren't any 2000+ acre ski areas east of the Rockies. That's pretty legit for Sugarloaf though.
