For Christmas I headed back to my Atlantic Canadian homeland with hopes of doing some skiing.

There was no natural snow, which is very unusual for this time of year in the area.

The hill is small, 500 vert, but it is well maintained and the lift is fast.

Trip Report: The Other Sugarloaf

Lift tickets were less than $40 Canadian and they are open until 9PM.

We got 30 laps in a day EASY.

The local cuisine was truly excellent.

Dixie Lee chicken has possibly the best hot wings I have ever had.

Not over breaded, just nice and crispy with a bit of spice.

However you are looking to wind down after the ski day, this place has it!

I would love to ski this hill when there is more snow, which there almost always is.

It is dirt cheap and they are clearly invested in their parks.

It’s an easy day drive north from Maine to get there.
