INTERESTING FACT:

halfpipe in North America was constructed at
Sugarloaf USA in 1995 for the US Snowboard Cham-
pionships.

lar non-snowmobile winter destination in the state. You'll spot the re-

every other vehicle in the state. In the last two years alone more than $4
million has been invested to make this first-class resort even better. Dis-

Conflict With the Appalachian Trail
Along the Saddleback Ski Resort's ridge line runs the Appala-
chian Trail. There has been considerable controversy in recent
years over the ski area's desire to expand and concerns that ex-
pansion at upper elevations may adversely impact the trail's wil-
derness character.
