Sugarloaf sets latest opening record

SUGARLOAF – Sugarloaf/USA set the Maine record for the latest day ever for skiing and riding at the Maine resort. The Carrabassett Valley resort opened two lifts and 10 trails Saturday with more than 400 people taking advantage of the late-season snow.

An unseasonably cool spring has kept the snow on the mountain, and an unusual jet stream pattern has kept cold air over the nothern part of New England and has been the cause of many May snowstorms. Sugarloaf/USA has received more than two feet of snow in May.

The Sugarloaf Golf Club opened Friday and many skiers took advantage of the Tee and Ski special, skiing in the morning and heading out to the golf course for an afternoon tee time.
