No surpises Sunday River got my vote. Check the results tonight.

Takes a bit to load 1/2 way down on the right.

No Saddleback available?!
Voted SL as the next best option among the 3

Where's Saddleback?

Where's Saddleback?

Good answer....let's keep it that way!
Under the radar is one of the many reasons why SB shines so brightly!

 

[Vortex]

Not sure. Never been there.

Sunday River got my vote.

Is there anything that can rival SR in Maine?

 

[thetrailboss]

I'm not sure what poll you are all looking at, but mine has Saddleback as an option!

 

[Vortex]

Lost valley on the list too now.

We'll apparently Saddleback and Lost Valley were added in the three minutes it took to post my question and for you to reply to it :beer:.

However, adding poll options after the fact kind of skews results. :-?

Really depends on what you want. For some yes, for me no.:beer: Sr combines, Terrain, length of season and slope side lodging, reasonable drive with a nice town and good local transportation service. That is why I made it my home mountain. I love the loaf as well.

Both Saddleback and Sugarloaf would easily 'rival' it. I would say it is between those three (SR, SL, SB) for the best mountain in maine, depending on what your criteria are they all have their strong suits. All could also make somewhat of a legitimate case for best in the East, although that is obviously highly contested by many different standards.

In terms of terrain, I would say that SL not only rivals SR, but beats it. Otherwise, what BobR said and then some. SR is the complete package.

I only see the 3 options.

Saddleback is asking their supporters on Facebook to write the station.

 

[riverc0il]

Weak sauce on no Saddleback option.

 

[riverc0il]

I am not sure what poll you guys are looking at, but the web page I am looking at only has SR, SL, and SP as options. No SB or LV.

Wow, they put up the other two options and now they are gone again. Fail :-?

What !! No love for the Loaf ? "Aw, Come On Man !! "

The loaf blows the river away in terrain, it's like comparing NASCAR to a kiddy park.

I've never been to the saddle, heard good thing though.

I love the terrain at Sugarloaf and Sunday River. The lift system at Sugarloaf really sucks. I HATE that you have to take that stupid Timberline quad to get to the summit. 2 extremely slow lifts to just ski the expert runs from the top. Why can't they at least just put a surface lift in from the top of spillway to the summit?

I'm not sure how you get to the top, but I take SuperQuad and then Timberline. The former is fast (without taking into account standing in line).
