Also wanted to comment on the speed traps on the way to the mountain... Be careful! We got pulled over (going 75) and saw 5 others get pulled over as well. This will definitely add $250 to your day
Mount Sunapee review written Mar 12 2013 - 07:25 AM
Sunapee is a fantastic mountain with beautiful views and I prefer it to others in the area, since there are a good number of trails that are long and winding versus fast and steep (there are these too for those that prefer that) The lines were a bit long on a Sunday, but we had gone earlier in the season President's weekend and it was surprisingly less busy.
As far as Liftopia- wasn't worth the deal this time. Full price tickets are $74 and after service fees liftopia ticket was $70. Turns out that we had a car issue the morning of and had to change our ticket to Sunday (through the mountain, not liftopia) and we were charged $15 each to change the tickets. All in all we paid 84 for the day - definitely not worth it if you forsee that you might not be able to make it that day.

Very good experience at Sunapee on Sunday, February 24. No lift lines at all, great snow, and much better terrain than I was expecting. This was my first time at Sunapee and I will definitely go back. One of the best options within a 2 hour drive from Boston area!
Mount Sunapee review written Feb 26 2013 - 02:23 PM
The conditions were great, good coverage and very little ice. No lift lines but then we were there on a week day. I would never go there on a weekend or holiday due to the crowds.
The was a long, slow line to exchange your liftopia receipt for an actual ticket. We bought our ticket from liftopia the night before and it took a long time for the staff to confirm it. Be prepared to spend a half hour waiting in line with other fuming skiers with liftopia receipts while the Mt Sunapee staff track down your ticket.

I went on a Sunday right after Nemo dumped two feet of snow. The conidtions were awesome. Unfortunately so was the size of the crowd. Lift lines were like the bad old days before high-speed quads. I waited 20 minutes in one line and was told the lines were even longerr elsewhere. Sunapee does not do a good job with large crowds. I found a short lift near the old lodge and stayed there in the afternoon. But I will avoid the mountatin if I think it's crowded in the future!

Great snow quality and coverage. Gorgeous views. This is a friendly mountain and it is great for families. If has good terrain but if you are looking for lots of double diamonds this is not your best bet.

It was in the 50s on Wednesday, with awful downpours Thursday a.m. Sunapee prides themselves on their grooming, and the conditions Friday were just awesome. One bad (huge, easy to see) ice patch on the Wing Ding trail, and everything else was fantastic. What a great day, again.

When facing the mountain on a crowded day go to the left hand side of the main quad, the lines are much shorter.
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 29 2013 - 02:39 PM
Very crowded with long lines on the weekend. The wait on the singles line is actually longer, first and only mountain I've ever been to where this has been the case. Great mix of snowplowing kids, just learning beginners and out of control teens on the"advanced" runs.
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 29 2013 - 02:33 PM
Love the mountain, but get there early. Back side is lots of fun to ski. Sunapee is definitely an intermediate mountain, but what is has is lots of fun. The terrain park and jump elements are the best I've seen in NE, but I have not seen them all. Plenty of deals out there if you search. I ski Sunapee a few times each season.

My most favorite mountain to Ski in New Hampshire. I had a great day Skiing with my daughter, who Snow Boards. I have Skied on the weekend and even with the crowd you never feel crowded. The lines move very fast. The grooming is second to none and the lodge is nice.

Mount Sunapee review written Dec 27 2012 - 04:43 AM
Visited Sunapee on "Magic Monday" 1/2/12 for half-priced tickets with my GF (who's a good skier). The 3-4 runs we did right before lunch were actually pretty great. It was mostly hard packed man-made snow that was well-groomed. Lines were reasonable.
We took lunch around 12:40 and when we got back out, you could have used hockey skates to get down the hill. Pretty unforgiving stuff once it was all blown/skied off: we both took spills that felt like wiping out on hard concrete.
Skiing in New England is going to suck until we get some real snow.
Tip from previous experiences at Sunapee: Its a great place to go on a mid-week snow day. Its jammed on Saturdays. Just big enough for a "real mountain experience" and it's just under 2 hours away from Boston. A g

Overpriced, terrible staff, crowded. I got a brochure from McDonalds and read about the NH Sunday special, and so when we got tickets the lady was like, "I never heard of that." So we ended up paying an extra $15 or so. The left part of the mountain (going up the lift or looking at a map) is usually the least crowded. Most bumps are seeded, and this place is groomed to death.
Mount Sunapee review written Jul 21 2011 - 11:07 AM
We went on a Sunday and the place was WAY TO CROWDED. As I understand it kids ski free on Fridays and Sunday. Wish I knew that before we went. We were waiting in line for the sunbowl lift for over forty minutes at one point. They actually started hawking drinks and burritos to the mob of disgruntled skiers waiting in line. Its too bad because the trails themselves were awesome and not crowded at all. Bottle neck was def the lifts. Lodges were also a total riot scene. I would avoid this place like the plague on the weekends.

Get on the mountain early!
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 16 2011 - 11:37 AM
Great ski area in it's size class, much upgraded in the Ten years or so since being leased by Okemo. Check into the 1/2 day Sunday ticket deals for NH and maybe VT too residents with ID. Very decent snowmaking program. Other deals too check their website for Ladies days carload days etc. Good strong management team very dedicated to the customer satisfaction. Nice flat parking area nice views of the lake. Road in and out to I-89 a bit of a challenge. Many speed traps so be careful going down hill .. in your car.
