Sugarloaf Top of Skyline Live Webcam, Maine

This webcam looks out from the top of the Skyline lift at Sugarloaf, the big ski resort in Carrabassett Valley, in the mountains of western Maine.

Sugarloaf Mountain rises to 4,237 feet, making it one of the tallest peaks in Maine, and it is famous for the Snowfields, the only lift-served above-treeline skiing in the eastern United States. The mountain has a remarkable vertical drop and a wide variety of terrain, from long cruisers to steep glades, and it has a loyal following among New England skiers who make the long drive north.

The Skyline lift serves upper-mountain terrain, and its top offers a view across the trails and the surrounding wilderness, with the Bigelow Range and Flagstaff Lake on clear days. Weather up high can be harsh: wind, fog, snow and cold can sweep across the summit, so this camera is a valuable way to check conditions before heading up.

Sugarloaf's base village has slopeside lodging and restaurants, and the nearby Route 27 connects it with Kingfield and Stratton. Winter brings deep snow and a long season, often stretching into May.

The camera is provided by Sugarloaf.
