Terrain - On to Burnt Mountain
Phase 1 - Introducing Brackett Basin
In 2010, cutting began on approximately 270 acres of new, gladed terrain in Brackett Basin, between Sugarloaf and Burnt Mountain. The area includes tight, eastern tree skiing and wide-open western-style glades. Phase 1 of the Burnt Mountain expansion created nearly 2,300 vertical feet of sidecountry terrain, and made Sugarloaf the largest resort in New England in terms of in-bounds, developed acreage. The new terrain opened to the public on January 9, 2011, introducing a whole new experience to New England skiers and riders.
Phase 2 - Onward to Burnt Mountain
During the summer of 2011, crews began cutting the first portions of Phase, which will ultimately open up an additional 135 acres of gladed, sidecountry terrain. These first pieces of Phase 2 opened to the public on February 25, 2012, taking skiers and riders further into the Burnt Mountain wilderness than ever before. When Phase 2 is complete, skiers and snowboarders will be able to ski the face of Burnt Mountain and explore a massive wilderness area, unlike any other resort in the east.
Phase 3 - Two Peaks, Two Personalites, One Incredible Resort
Phase 3 will open the north face of Burnt Mountain with the addition of approximately 250 acres of sidecountry terrain. With the completion of this final Phase, Sugarloaf's developed, skiable acreage will have doubled in size. Guests will be able to ski two incredible peaks, with two distinctly different personalities - all in the same day.
When all is said and done, the Burnt Mountain expansion will create 655 acres of patrolled sidecountry terrain and a skiing experience unlike anything East of the Rocky Mountains.
