Sunday River ski vacations are reliable because of the best snowmaking in New
England. Skiing on eight interconnected peaks for the longest season in New
England, from October to May typically, Sunday River guarantees some the best
snow conditions in the East. It takes days to ski all of Sunday River's terrain,
from the perfectly groomed runs off the Chondola on North Peak and South Peak,
to bumps on Agony and lots of turns on Top Gun and the signature trail Sunday
Punch. White Heat is the longest steepest widest trail in the East, while
Lollapalooza on the opposite extreme of Sunday River's miles of terrain is
scenic and sauntering.
Lodging at Sunday River Resort comes down to one of the two Grand hotels - The
Grand Summit or the Jordan Grand Hotel and Spa are both on the slopes with
outdoor heated swimming pools, ski check, restaurants and a cafe in the hotel,
and fitness facilities plus spa services. While these hotels are not as fancy as
they sound (“grand”) with 2 and 3-diamond ratings, their on mountain location is
convenient with ski storage and both Sunday River ski hotels sport fantastic
outdoor heated pools with views of the slopes where you just skied.
The slopeside condominium rentals at Sunday River may not make Condé
Nast's "luxury" list, but Sunday River's hotels and condos do score high for ski
in/ski out location.
