Sugarloaf - Timberline (In 4K)

The Timberline Quad at Sugarloaf Maine is a standard four person lift that travels along the ridge of Sugarloaf's main ridge, and travels along the ridge just below the summit of the mountain. From the top, riders can get to Just about every area of the mountain from the top, and if conditions are favorable you get access to the Snowfields, Maine's only high alpine skiing.

The lift is relocated from the Whiffletree area, and prior to it's placement on the ridge of the mountain, the Gondola was the only way to the summit. This lift (as well as the SuperQuad) are subject to replacement / realignment on Sugarloaf's 2030 plan. There is talk of removing this lift altogether and extending it down to Bullwinkle's lodge, which would help with more uphill capacity to the summit.
