If you're coming to Sunday River for the Apres Ski, don't bother.
It is a very small quiet resort and even a trip into Bethel had us searching for somewhere that opened past 11pm. Maybe we just weren't looking in the right places.
The USASA champs were on whilst we were there so we expected it to be a bit lively, but I think all the action went on behind closed hotel rooms doors as we didn't get to see any!!!

To say Sunday River is the biggest Ski/Board resort in Eastern USA, the shops were poor.
There was only one decent ski/snowboarding gear shop and that's at South Ridge Base Lodge. I got a great Bonfire boarding jacket for about £50, and a helmet for £15.

Stephen-KarenConn Says: In June, 1995, I visited Maine for the first time, thus completing a goal to visit each of the 50 states in the United States. I stopped my car a few yards short of the New Hampshire - Maine state line and walked across ceremoniously. This photo, taken 12 years later, shows...
You can cross country ski here or go snowmobiling or snowshoeing.
A friend and I went snowshoeing on the groomed trails. We were the only 2 people on the mountain-perfect.
A trail ticket costs $12.00.
Equipment: Rent your gear or bring your own.

Favorite thing: What Sunday River lacks in apres ski it certainly makes up for in terrain. HUGE runs which will challenge everyone! FANTASTIC terrain parks which will entertain the more adventurous of you, and loads of chairlifts to take you back up to the top of the mountain!
Not a drag lift in site which is very good news for us boarders!!
Although there wasn't much snowmaking going on whilst we were there (it was too warm) the pistes were always groomed to perfection and only started getting really slushy towards the end of the week when we had a lot of rain.
Fondest memory: I learnt how to jump on my snowboard and our party as a whole gained a lot of confidence.
