Maine Ski Resort Delays Opening Of Highly Anticipated Chairlift

People did not appear to be too upset. One commenter channeled her inner Donny Pelletier, writing, "bummah." 

Others just continued to express gratitude for Sugarloaf as the biggest resort in the state, writing, "Wow, Sugarloaf is actually an unreal mountain that keeps getting better." 

With 909 acres and 125 trails open as of today, we could not agree more. 

Sugarloaf isn't letting their skiers down, and they put out some good news to balance the announcement. "The good news? We will be opening next week ahead of Vacation week and we have a TON of fun starting tomorrow, with DJ Greg Powers spinning tunes on the Bullwinkle's deck and a FREE live performance by the Mallett Brothers on Saturday." 

But there's actually more good news: Orono Brewing Company released a Bucksaw IPA. What can I say, love for the Loaf runs deep. 

The Mallett Brothers Band is an Americana/country group that does iconic folk songs, and their lyrics definitely speak to Mainers and skiers alike. 

Listen to their rendition of "The Falling of the Pine" below. I love fiddle, and how good is that historic footage!

I'm sad to miss this one. For everyone who goes, get some turns off King Pine for me, and pour one out at The Rack for me afterwards!
