Mount Sunapee Resort Reviews

We go skiing as a fam of 4, 2 adults a teen and a 9year old. We brought a friend with us who took a 1st timer ski lesson. Advertised as 2-3 adults per group, they had at least 8, and then they told us this lesson does not include teaching how to use a chair lift. They actually said that. 2 hours of magic carpet. Really? Mountain is more pricey than other comparable places in the area. Will probably not go there again. Snow conditions comparable to most New England resorts, full price tickets sold when 1/3-1/2 of mountain terrain is open. Food at the lodge was cold - biggest complaint from the kids, who got a hot dog and a burger $87 for 3 meals and a soup.

• Nice family trail from the summit
• Food was cold, disappointing beginner lesson

This mountain is not the biggest but has a lot of advanced trails. From the top there is a good variety of single and double black with some blues. There is a really small terrain park that is not the best. Not the best for beginners but really good for intermediates. The view of the lake is also beautiful, definitely worth seeing.

• Great view of NH lakes

My grandson was in ski school for the day. He lived. By the end, he had learned everything needed to ski by himself. I will definitely bring him back. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Thank you all so much.

• Overall awesome experience. It was my grandsons first time skiing. I’m so glad I chose Mt. Sunapee. His instructor Christopher was the best. I would definitely return.

Sunapee is a great mountain for all levels

• Great location
• Not the most terrain

I skied there on February 15, 2024. The conditions were packed powder all over the mountain, which was extraordinary, considering the very challenging weather lately, and with the much worse conditions elsewhere. It was a blue sky day, and a wonderful experience.

• Wonderful grooming

I felt compelled to write a review because I see so many one and two star reviews I really feel they are not warranted. First off, someone commented on muddy parking lots. I was actually very impressed that the main parking lot is fully paved which is something I have really never seen here in New England. If you have to use the satellite parking lots I guess those are not paved. Also, the staff at Sunapee is the best that I have ever seen. Everyone is so helpful and willing to go over and beyond. The skiing this year for 2024 has not been great but it is not the fault of the mountain. We have had periods of freezing weather followed by periods of rain and extreme thawing. Thus the icing. Someone also commented that there is no snow making here and that's simply isn't the truth. If it's above 30° you can't make snow but I have witnessed snow making on every single day where the temperatures warrant it. As far as long lift lines goes, I ski midweek and I've skied a couple of dozen days this year and I have never had to wait even a minute to get on the lift. I guess just don't go on the weekends. If that's even the case. I cannot attest to the weekends as I have not been there on the weekends. Overall, I would have to say that Sunapee is one of the better resorts that I have skied at and they do go above and beyond. Give it a try.

• Friendly customer service
• Two little black diamond terrain

Nice smaller mountain!

I have put kids, nieces/nephews, friends kids, grandkids in ski lessons all over the US, France and Switzerland. Sunapee is right up there. The organization, communication and wonderful instructors are great. Th kids ae happy o go - the real test!

• Ski school
• Parking is a problem

Fun mountain, I just wish there was more black terrain, especially steep terrain, as goosebumps is your only option for expert terrain that isn’t a glade.

• Great for beginners and intermediates
• Not much expert terrain, And glades often closed
