About this resort

Sunday River Ski Resort

Sunday River Ski Resort is a ski resort located in Maine. Considered one of the largest and most popular ski resorts in New England, it offers 135 trails across 870 skiable acres. The resort offers a diverse range of terrain, from beginner to expert, with the most popular runs being the White Heat, Oz, and Excalibur. The resort also offers a unique “slopeside” experience, with many of its lodges and accommodations located directly on the mountain. An interesting fact few people know is that Sunday River was originally developed as a summer resort, and only began offering winter skiing in the late 1950s. For beginners, the perfect trail is Sundance, a gentle slope with plenty of open space to practice. For apres ski, the Matterhorn Ski Bar is highly recommended.

Terrain mix: The Sunday River Ski Resort in Maine is located in the Mahoosuc Range of the Appalachian Mountains. The resort is known for its diverse terrain and mountain aspects, including eight interconnected peaks: Locke Mountain, Barker Mountain, Spruce Peak, North Peak, South Ridge, White Cap, Jordan Bowl, and Oz. These peaks offer a variety of terrain for all levels of skiers and snowboarders, with a total of 135 trails and 870 skiable acres. The resort also features a vertical drop of 2,340 feet, making it one of the largest ski areas in Maine.

Plain-English forecast narrative from the local NWS office. Issued by NWS GYX.

690 FXUS61 KGYX 210704 AFDGYX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gray ME 304 AM EDT Mon Sep 21 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... No significant changes to the forecast this early Monday morning. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1. Fair and dry weather will dominate early this week with frost possible at night. 2. There is a signal for a slow moving coastal system near the East Coast late in the week. Impacts will be track dependent, which remains uncertain at this time range. The potential exists for rain, gusty NE winds, and high surf sometime over next weekend. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION... After some early morning low clouds and fog, confidence is high that fair weather will prevail today through at least Wednesday. Broad high pressure over southern Canada will be the source of this fair weather as it drifts east through the week. As the high remains centered north of the area, temperatures will trend cooler than normal for both day time highs and overnight lows. This will translate to highs in the low to mid 60s and lows in the 30s to 40s. There will likely be favorable radiational cooling conditions most nights and it is likely some spots south of the mountains will see some frost. KEY MESSAGE 2 DESCRIPTION... At the end of the week, models have consistently shown the potential for a coastal low to impact the region. A high degree of storm track uncertainty still remains, but the low could allow for some much needed rainfall over the weekend if the low takes a more westerly or northerly track. Gusty winds and high surf could be possible as well. && .AVIATION /08Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Through 06z Tuesday: Mainly VFR outside of nighttime valley fog. Any low clouds and fog early this morning should lift with increasing north winds, lingering across the mountains and CT River Valley. Valley fog may return again overnight into Tuesday. Outlook: Tuesday-Wednesday: Mainly VFR with no sig wx. Thursday-Friday: Mainly VFR outside of nighttime valley fog. Some increase in winds and showers possible late Friday and Friday night. && .MARINE... High pressure will remain centered north of the waters through mid week while an area of low pressure develops offshore of the Mid Atlantic. Winds and seas likely remain below SCA thresholds into Tuesday. A strengthening NE gradient will bring potential for periods of SCA conditions Wednesday and Thursday and potential for Gales late in the week depending on the track of the low pressure system. Regardless of track, seas will likely build in excess of 5-7ft around Thursday and continue to build into the weekend. && .GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ME...None. NH...None. MARINE...None. && $$ DISCUSSION...Ekster/Schroeter/Tubbs/Palmer Aviation...Cornwell

Mountain & avalanche safety

Know before you go
Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
Carry the gear, know how to use it
Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
Mind the weather window
Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
Respect closed terrain
Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

FAQ

About Sunday River Ski Resort

Where does the snow data for Sunday River Ski Resort come from?

Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.

How often is the snow report updated?

Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.

What's the elevation at Sunday River Ski Resort?

See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.

How is "% of normal" calculated?

Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.

What ski resorts are near Sunday River Ski Resort?

See the Other Ski Areas pill grid at the bottom of the page for resorts within driving distance. The sister Other Ski Areas card in the Plan-a-longer-trip grid above shows the closest few.

Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?

Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this resort, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment the SNOTEL crosses.
