Sunday River

A housing project anticipated to be an important economic driver for the rural Oxford county town of Rumford has been stalled with the recent cancellation by Sunday River Resort of an arrangement to lease apartments expressly developed for its employees.

Sunday River Resort has over the past few years been increasingly enticing visitors to come play on the mountain year-round, with a host of popular events.

The lease provides space to consolidate adaptive gear storage and maintenance and provide accessible, on-site lodging for volunteers, interns and participants year-round.

In the week since it opened, Sugarloaf’s lift-serviced downhill mountain bike park already attracted hundreds of cyclists. More trails are under construction.

The 'Rugged Runway' fashion show is scheduled for Nov. 14 at the Sunday River Resort in Newry as part of the three-day Maine Outdoor Economy Summit.

At the peak of the storm Thursday, at least 350,000 customers were without power in Maine.

On April 1, a day of fun and foolery worldwide, social media was bursting with hoaxes. Mainebiz didn't fall for them.

With cold nights for snowmaking, Maine's ski areas are looking to rebound from the Dec. 18 rains and flooding, which melted snowpack and washed out roads and infrastructure.

From the mountains to the coast, Monday's heavy rain and strong winds wreaked havoc in Maine.

Skiers will travel up the mountain in just over four and a half minutes, which reduces the current ride time by a third. Major investments also include snowmaking system upgrades, with work to begin at the end of ski season.
