Sugarloaf, the largest ski resort in the East with 1153 skiable acres, has hosted the AlpineZone Summit at Sugarloaf for the past three years, with attendance growing from 40 members the first year to more than 80 the last two seasons.

“On behalf of myself and other AlpineZone members who have been to the summit in previous years, I can tell you that we are all really looking forward to the fourth AlpineZone Summit at Sugarloaf.”, said Stef Reuter, co-owner of AlpineZone.com. “The AlpineZone Summit is a great opportunity to bring the community together, and Sugarloaf is the perfect resort to host this – an iconic mountain in the Northeast that brings new challenges to skiers and snowboarders each year. Sugarloaf has always put on a great event for the AlpineZone community, and this year will raise the bar yet again”.

This year’s Summit will begin on Friday night with a special welcome party, hosted by AlpineZone administrators, in the penthouse suite of the Sugarloaf Mountain Hotel. The party will feature free drinks, a hot tub, and complimentary hors d’oeuvres provided by Sugarloaf’s newest restaurant, 45 North.

Saturday will be spent skiing and riding on Sugarloaf’s legendary terrain, and will once again include a guided tour of the newly opened terrain in Brackett Basin, part of Sugarloaf’s massive, 655-acre terrain expansion onto Burnt Mountain.

At the end of the day members will be invited to attend the AlpineZone Apres Party in the Widowmaker Loft, where they will enjoy complimentary appetizers and sign up for first-tracks on Sunday morning.
