Sugarloaf Closing Weekend - SuperQuad

The SuperQuad at Sugarloaf Maine a 4-person detachable chairlift. It is one of the most popular at the mountain, and is one of two identical detachables built in the mid 90s. It's sister lift (Wiffletree) was installed in 1997 by the same manufacturer, and serves lower portion of Sugarloaf. The SuperQuad is one of the longer detachables in the east, at more than a mile long in length. It plays a vital role at the base area as it alleviates traffic out of either the East/West doubles, and can bring guests over to Bullwinkle's lodge, Skyline or Timberline quads. As far as terrain goes, many of Sugarloaf's intermediate, advanced or expert trails can be accessed of the top. This includes trails such as Narrow Gauge, Hayburner, Skidder, and King's Landing.
