Sugarloaf Mountain has an ambitious outlook for the upcoming ski season, still planning on opening this weekend ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, weather conditions permitting. Enhancements to Sugarloaf’s snowmaking capabilities include the addition of over 1,100 snowmaking tower guns and fan guns over a five-year period. The installation of a new 20-inch water main line this summer replaces an old 14-inch line along West Mountain Trail. The resort says the bigger diameter water line increases its capacity to move water volume by 10% and is already making a big difference. Snowmaking has now been extended to the Twitcher Trail for the first time, a new trail that is part of the expansion.
