This is a big, elaborate resort: 128 trails (42 Beginner, 46 Intermediate, 40 Expert) on seven mountain peaks, are served by 18 ski lifts, four of them high-speed quads. If you skied or rode all of Sunday River's trails, you'd ski/snowboard 48 miles (77 km)! The vertical drop is 2340 feet (713 meters) from the mountain's summit of 3140 feet (957 meters). Sunday River has everything for everybody: kids' programs, ski and snowboard schools, equipment rentals, terrain parks, cafeterias, restaurants, bars, and plenty of lodging. The nice old town of Bethel, with its inns, restaurants and services (supermarkets, pharmacies, etc.) is only a short drive south. Here's Why I Like Sunday River, with tips on the best beginner and intermediate skier trails, and how to avoid the crowds.
