No chairlift rides at homecoming??
Sugarloaf really should consider bringing this idea back, even if you have to charge 5 bucks. It was the main draw for me and my family last year.

It's still uncertain whether or not we'll be able to offer lift rides at Homecoming this year. Earlier in the summer we were informed by state inspectors that the SuperQuad is not certified to download guests or to upload them without skis. We're working with the inspectors to make modifications to the ramps that will meet their requirements for uploading without skis, and hope to have them in place by Homecoming. We'll certainly keep you up to date on any developments before homecoming weekend.

Yes, without the SuperQuad rides, there really aren't that many fun things to do.

You have to love the logic here. The State allows folks to strap on stiff boards with sharp mettle edges to ride a lift and zoom down the mountain at +30 miles per hour, but they do not think we are not bright enough to step on an off a detachable quad. Thank goodness we have the great nanny state of Maine looking out for us.

you kind of do have to love the logic. charilift rides at homecoming is pretty much the direct opposite of what that lift was designed for. Lifts are way more than just cables, chairs, and motors. heaven forbid Sugarloaf looks out for the well being of its valued customers by abiding by state inspectors and insurance companies. it would take one wealthy persons grand daughter getting hurt and you would see a lawsuit so big that Sugarloaf would have to make some serious changes...and not for the better.

I have a question on how far down the mountain phase 1 will go. The map shows it all the way to Snowbrook /lower part of Woody Creek. Is this really where it will end or will it somehow end onto the Stubb's Glase condo access trail?

Can you please clarify how access will be gained to the new gladed area? I understand that you can access most of it via the top of King Pine, but what about at the bottom? My understanding is that for now is that this area is accessible by…

Anyone up there ever thought about putting a disc golf course on the mountain for use in the summer time. Alot of ski resorts are doing this now and sugarloaf would be a great place for a course. Just an idea wondering what everyone else thought abo…
