I believe it also has to do with the amount of $$ they and owners at the Jordan have pumped into that hotel. I think that is the key, Boyne likes that kind of stuff. The Summit at WC, owners have balked on upgrade costs.

Well, not exactly SR, Boyne is sueing for the denial of claim for SR's flood losses of December 2023. Still convinced this is in part driving the operational changes we have seen at SR this season in addition to the Big Sky loss. But based on the documents, pretty clear the flood insurance coverage was a Boyne corporation coverage package for all their resorts, not just a SR specific coverage.Liftblog is reporting "Sunday River sues an insurance company over denial of a $10 million claim for damages sustained in a 2023 flood."

Tickets are now available for the two (likely) final weekends. $100 a day. Seems very high for Jordan only?

I saw that, thanks. We're pivoting to VT with the limited days and terrain at SR. They have however updated the prices to a more reasonable $70 for the few days they're open in April.

Wow, I’ve done midweek the first or second week of April for five or so years now. Usually I wait till last minute for weather, but now I’m glad I didn’t book anything at SR, sucks to say that. To run Spruce, Barker, Jordan would be a better move. This isn’t even really trying.
Weekdays always went until Patriots Day in the past....
Very Sad to see them go weekends only so early this year
Black (NH) will be rocking well into April

taking a look at the April calendar for loon, SR and SL respectively. I dont have a problem with the approach, loon is the day trip option. SR exceeds my daytrip tolerance in april and I would rather be at SL if getting a room in april. guess I would be pissed if I owned property at SR.
You're neglecting to consider the many York and Cumberland county SR skiers who won't day trip to Sugarloaf or Loon. It would make far more sense to shutter Sugarloaf midweek in April over Sunday River. Of course that would also be complained about.

York county maine is home to 200K people, another 300K call Cumberland county home. Metro Boston is home to five million.
What is your point?
Boston day trippers go to Loon, not Sunday River. Midweek April business is largely local day trip folks. Where is the largest pool of day trippers for Sunday River from? York and Cumberland counties.
I bet dollars to donuts that SR sees more midweek business in April than Sugarloaf does and it's largely due to day trip skiers from those two counties. SR certainly saw more of my business than SL when Portland was home for me.

Yep, I'm in Portland. ill day trip to Sugarloaf and certainly prefer it, but much easier of a drive to Sunday River especially when crowds aren't a factor at all.
Jordan 8 is too fast for spring skiing, I prefer white heat or spruce, not enough time to enjoy a beer. No airflow on the back either to air out.

For the better part of 15 years my entire ski clan did days trip to SR from the Boston area. That is where we all settled initially. Loon, Waterville and Cannon were not our preference even though a little shorter.
Same here.
As Boston day trippers we always preferred SR because there were NO NY'ers or NJ & CT people.
Settled in Gilead first, then NH
Is it common to have NY/NJ people at the other areas mentioned? I can't say I know many (or maybe even any) people from NJ that go to NH resorts much. NH tends to be out of the way for us (although I would have loved to ski a place like Wildcat during its prime)

Not too often, but with iKon and Indy, some more drift in. CT folks, yup they are around and RI too. CT ID say mostly from the eastern side. Once you hit Hartford West, I-91 sucks them due North
