Mountain Report

September 23

We're a few weeks away from Fall Festival Weekend on October 9-10 with amazing events like the North American Wife Carrying Championship, New England Cornhole Championship, and more. Registration to sign up for wife carrying is open, along with a few spots left for your team in the New England Cornhole Championship.

The Merrill Hill project continues to move forward. If you've been around the resort, there is a noticeable change. With several trails, roads, and lift lines cut, we're excited to move into the lift- and snowmaking-building phase for the Sunday River Real Estate-exclusive development. During this time, some areas of the mountain are closed to all pedestrian traffic Monday through Friday. Please be aware of all signage around North Peak and Merrill Hill. You may need to choose alternative routes, or consider other places to explore as the area is filled with great hikes and walks. 

Scenic lift rides are open every weekend through October 10 and when you purchase your tickets online ahead of time, you can save. New this season, our tickets are on RFID, so if you held onto your Go Card from last winter, you can reload and head straight to the lift. Passholders, please remember to bring your pass from last winter and stop by the Welcome Center to activate your lift ride perk.

The Sunday River Golf Club was named Maine's #1 Golf Course by Golf Digest. Tee times are available to book online and the earlier you book, the more you'll save. The Pro Shop is freshly stocked with all new gear, and  The Clubhouse is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Head to the River Guide for all resort offerings.
