8 PEAKS

Aerial View of the 8 Peaks at Sunday River Resort

It was 1958 when a handful of skiers climbed Locke Mountain and cut Sunday River’s first trails down through the Maine woods. Since then, their spirit of exploration and adventure inspired the generations that followed as those trails grew into a network that spans eight mountain peaks.

Sunday River is now known for being one of the largest ski resorts in the East, complete with slopeside lodging, exceptional dining experiences, a championship golf course, and more. Where will you explore first?

EASTERN PEAKS
