EPIC Videos by Maine Ski Mountains Got me Excited for Winter

WINTER IS COMING!

But, if you ask Maine’s favorite ski resorts, it’s already here!!

Maine Ski Resorts Opening Days

That’s right, some of Maine’s most iconic and beloved ski mountains are already open for the season.

Sugarloaf in Carrabassett Valley and Sunday River in Newry just opened up this week and Mainers are already stoked to be hitting the trails. Sunday River kicked off its first chairlift ride on Thursday, Nov. 17, and Sugarloaf welcomed skiers and boarders on Friday, Nov. 18.

As someone who FINALLY knows how to ski, I am beyond giddy. If I wasn’t already pumped enough, videos posted by Maine mountains this week just put me in the most excited state possible and now I’m ready to buy my season pass.

If you weren’t excited to ski before, you’re going to be squirming to hit the slopes after these.

Sugarloaf and Sunday River Opening Day Videos

Sugarloaf teased us all with a quick video showing the drive on Access Road to the mountain and dropping the beautiful fact that the first chair ran at 8:30 a.m. Friday morning on Nov. 18.

The ariel shot of the road heading to the mountain makes my stomach flip with anticipation.

For Maine enthusiasts of all seasons, this one is epic because it shows the gorgeous colors of fall foliage in Carrabassett Valley versus what the mountain looks like now covered in snow.

All of Sunday River’s videos are extremely well done. This one gets you hype just by picturing yourself in that scene with videos of people skiing, snowboarding, and cheering at the start of the winter sports season.
