Sugarloafs new owner

Sugarloaf USA now formally known as Sugarloaf has a proud new owner. Boyne USA resorts bought sugarloaf in August of 2007 for $77 million dollars. With the expense of the mountain bourne has also spent millions of dollars making new improvements to sugarloaf. Bourne spent $5 million dollars on new snow making equipment, trail signage, lift shacks, and Bullwinkle's. Boyne also acquired 20 million dollars into the twin sister resorts. The snowmaking equipment received 70 new snowmaking guns which consist of 20 fan guns and 50 tower guns. This new snow making ability will pay off for those warms winter days when sugarloaf doesn’t receive as much snow as it should. Boyne’s has also developed the old Bullwinkle’s from a warming hut into a restaurant for all skiers to come in for a nice hot mealIt has three large sitting areas with a brand new restaurant/pub. Some minor developments that sugarloaf underwent trail signage; here brand new trail signs on the mountain were put up. This helps depict what level trail you are heading down. This mountain will increasingly become more impressive with the future development. I hope you stop in for some more news on upcoming snowboarding events.
