Sugarloaf Golf Club Number Six Project Complete!

After completing the last of the new drainage work last week, and laying the final load of new sod on Monday, the new and improved sixth hole is now ready for action this Friday, May 28.


Anyone who played number six last season will be amazed at the transformation. While it's certainly still one of the more challenging holes at Sugarloaf, it's no longer the notorious scorecard killer thanks to wideneed approach, increased playable area around the green, and healthi

Sugarloaf Golf Club Sod project on Number 6

Those of you who have been following the news from the golf course closely this year will know that we've done a considerable amount of work on hole number 6 over the past year. We completely rebuilt all of the drainage systems, removed a large number of trees, stumps, rocks, and other debris on the right of the approach, and increased playable area on the approach by a huge amount.


With the drainage work completed last fall, we've worked to prepar

Sugarloaf Golf Club A successful Ski and Tee Weekend!

Hopefully many of you were able to get out and enjoy the back nine here at the Sugarloaf Golf Club during Ski and Tee Weeked, May 1-2. Eager golfers played more than 250 rounds over the weekend, which was the earliest date in the 25 year history of the Sugarloaf Golf Club that the course has been playable. And though the course still very much in early season condition, nearly all of the golfers we spoke with over the weekend were amazed at the shape the course was in (particularly since most

Sugarloaf Snow Reporter Thanks for an AWESOME SEASON!!

Well this is it! My last official day as your snow reporter was yesterday and now I'm stuck with the sad task of clearing my desk and packing my little house up.

From my mornings running around delivering maps to the Ambassadors and hardy season passholders, to the hours spent at Java Joe's yukking it up… Continue

Sugarloaf Golf Club Already mowing grass on the course!

No joke, the photo below was taken today, April 15, on the sixth green. Number six emerged from the winter in such great shape that our crew is already mowing it, even while we're still skiing up on the hill. This green is almost is mid-season form already, and much of that great growth can be attributed to a new, permeable tarp system that superintendant Bob Bruce experimented with this winter.

Sugarloaf Snow Reporter Week in Review

Hey folks!

These last couple of weeks have been straight up glorious at the Loaf. With tons of snow and sunshine, everyone's been in snowphoria (that's right, I made up a word. Go with it). I pieced together a little week in review video to try to give you a taste of how great it's been up here...but really, you gotta be here. And with next week looking like much of the same sunshine, I'd say it's time to make use of those sick days.

Perfect Turn The Triumphant Return of a Local Hero

Maine and Sugarloaf’s poster boy didn’t disappoint as he brought home his second gold in as many Olympics, repeating his feat achieved at the 2006 games in Torino.

Perfect Turn Skiing's Next Generation

One of the most rewarding experiences about skiing at Sugarloaf is the extent of quality youth skiing all around us. Yes, we are always privy to youth skiing events, like the J2 Alpine races held here all week. And yes, everyday we get to watch the CVA teams that call this mountain their home. But I’m not talking about them.


Tuesday spelled one of the most perfect days this mountain has seen in years. The combination of over 5 fresh feet of new

Sugarloaf Update on Operations Challenges Today - 2/27/10

As all of you know by now, this has been a pretty incredible week for us here at Sugarloaf. A monster four day storm left us with 50 inches of new snow since Wednesday morning, giving us far and away the best skiing conditions of the season. Along with those 50 inches, however, came numerous operational challenges. Many weekend visitors were frustrated by delays here this morning, and we wanted to p

Carrabassett Valley Academy Any Given Day

The bell rings, students take last minute notes, and collect their books and laptops. They bustle out of class and emerge into the halls, destined for their next class; discussing the challenges of the test that lies before them. The hallways of the converted Capricorn Lodge are narrow and the labyrinth is crowded as the entire student population joins the classroom shuffle. It’s a typical high school scene.

What makes this experience, and any Carrabassett Valley Academy activi
