The first step towards Burnt Mountain expansion was realized with the opening of Brackett Basin. Hundreds of acres of steep, snow-packed glades marked the beginning of Sugarloaf's legendary sidecountry terrain. 

The Sugarloaf Golf Course installed a new irrigation system, allowing for a more efficient use of resources and greatly improved turf health. 

45 North opened at the Sugarloaf Mountain Hotel, introducing seasonally inspired chef-driven cuisine to the village. 

The Burnt Mountain Summit opened, marking the eastern-most expansion of the resort boundary. Accessible only by hiking or skinning, it introduced a whole new way to earn your turns. With the peak we'd all been dreaming of finally within reach, one of the most exciting parts of the Sugarloaf 2020 plan was realized. 

In partnership with Carrabassett Valley Academy, the Sugarloaf Ski Club, and the generous support of the Bill and Joan Alfond Foundation, the Alfond Competition Center cemented Sugarloaf's status as the East's premier ski racing development center. In addition to hosting teams across the nation, the new space procides conference and wedding guests another on-mountain option for events. 

The first true cat skiing operation in New England gave Sugarloafers access to untouched glades and opened up even more sidecountry acreage. The custom passenger snowcats bring guests 1.5 miles up into the Eastern Territory and accesses terrain that can't be reached by chairlift. 

An après favorite, the Widowmaker was completely revamped over the summer of 2019. Our live music lineup meant we needed a bigger, better stage, and relocating the bar improved efficiency and made it faster than ever to grab one of 20 Maine-brewed beers on tap. The loft was transformed, including the addition of a rooftop deck looking out over the Beach with one of the best mountain views in the area. 

The first steps of West Mountain Phase I are already underway and will continue throughout the summer of 2020. Work will continue on site designs and permitting, and initial phases of tree cutting and trail construction will begin. 

As Phase I of a complete snowmaking system overhaul, the construction of a new dam at Caribou pond will make our water source for snowmaking consistent and reliable - the first step toward doubling Sugarloaf's pumping capacity. The installation of new HKD KLIK hydrants and new low-energy guns will also provide the first steps toward a more efficient and automated snowmaking system. 

• New lift installed
• Trail design and cutting
• New snowmaking installed
• 8-12 lane tube park constructed
• Mountain bike park trail design development
• Bullwinkle's renovation
• Residential real estate development

As our signature summit-access lift, Timberline is a crucial piece of the on-mountain experience. In the coming years, we'll look to replace and upgrade Timberline, extending the bottom terminal down to Bullwinkle's and paving the way for a year-round summit experience offering. 

Double Runner is centrally located and is a crucial lift for our ski school programs. Over the next few years, we will look to replace and upgrade Double Runner with a higher capacity lift. 

Working in partnership with the Town of Carrabassett Valley, we will install a snowmaking system at the Sugarloaf Outdoor Center to create a world class Nordic racing facility.

As we map out the future of Sugarloaf, the Village and Hotel will be considered for a number of upgrades and possible expansion.
