Perfect skiing for learners in this meticulously designed, award winning ski resort.
Take me to the river...Sunday River is a picturesque, purpose-built ski resort in Maine, located a mere 10 mins drive from the quaint New England town of Bethel. The resort is a good choice for schools because of its excellent progression, modern lifts, unbelievable snowmaking and extensive, easy slopes. The accommodation works well for schools and is very conveniently located just minutes from the mountain.
131 trails cover 8 inter-connected mountains so there's plenty of interest for skiers and riders of most standards, but the distinguishing feature of Sunday River is the excellent progression and miles of fairly easy slopes. Standards from beginner to enthusiastic intermediate are happiest here, but there are some double black diamond runs to test the truly daring.
Most American resorts have a claim to fame, and Sunday River's is "the most dependable snow in New England". Visitors are proudly shown the state of the art snowmaking, which is switched on all the time. Whenever the conditions are right, Sunday River makes snow, and they claim you'll have a hard time telling the difference between the man-made stuff and Mother Nature's.
