Sunday River - USA
At Sunday River, skiers enjoy peace of mind knowing there will always
be a reliable cover of snow, as Sunday River is home to the largest
snowmaking operation in the US.
The resort itself stretches five kilometres east to west and comes
complete with conference and childcare facilities, a professional ski
school, first-aid, and a number of ski-in/ski-out restaurants, cafés
and bars.
There are a total of 128 trails covering a distance of 77kms, with a
longest run of 4.8kms. Snowmaking covers 92 per cent of the 268
hectares of skiable terrain, which is serviced by 18 lifts. Twenty-five
per cent of the runs are rated easy, 35 per cent are intermediate, 23
per cent are difficult, and 17 per cent are for experts only. There are
120kms of cross-country trails, and a terrain park on each peak.
The ski season runs from early November through to early May, with the
first and last couple of weeks of the season being the cheapest times
to go. Portland International Jetport offers daily flights to Boston
International Airport, which services flights to and from most major
North American destinations as well as direct flights to and from
Europe.
