Make it a Weekend!

Plan to make it a weekend in Carrabassett Valley.  Festivities kick off Friday with free live music on the Beach at Sugarloaf from 4-7pm.  Save your legs for the downhill and enjoy the fun, flowy turns in Sugarloaf’s new lift-access bike park!  Tickets are just $25/pp all weekend long with lift hours of 10am-6pm Friday & Saturday, 10am-4pm on Sunday.  For a change of pace you can hike or bike to one of the Maine Huts & Trails huts or visit Sugarloaf for a scenic chairlift ride, axe throwing, or disc golf.  Visit Maine’s Northwestern Mountains for additional info about our neck of the woods!
