We love going to Sunday as it's only an hour and half away from Portland. The mountain has a lot of skiing to offer to anyone looking to have fun! Also they have waffles in the middle of the trail when you're hungry

SCAMMERS & RACIST. I paid ahead of time for 4 days of ski rental, and I even paid for the insurance. Luckily, I kept my receipt because, White Supremacy Team member AL tried to scam me and claimed I only paid for 2 1/2 days of ski rental. He handed me an illegible hand written invoice trying to charge me for more. When I calmly explained to him that I already paid for 4 days, he asked me where "us mexicans" were from and when we said Florida he told us to go back to where we came from and dont come back. I was extremely shocked from this behavior. He was extremely aggressive and so was his buddy. I was genuinely scared and so were members of my group. He cussed and called us slurs on the way out the door. Needless to say of course we won't be coming back, Al is a classless disgusting racist animal. Dont give them your money, and if you decide to come KEEP YOUR RECEIPT!!

Sunday River is my favorite ski resort. The mountain is expansive with varying terrain that challenges those looking to be challenged, but also easy terrain for those looking to just cruise or who are still learning.
Recently, the mountain has been going through some updates. At Jordan, they have installed New England's fastest 8 person chair lift with heated seats and a shield, and they are looking to add a 6 person chair lift to Barker with similar seating in the 23-24 season. They are also looking to expand the mountain more with more lodging, chairlifts, and trails in the foreseeable future. All of this allows for Sunday River to continue being a great mountain.
Each time I have gone to Sunday River, the trails are always well-groomed and there are limited lines. When lines do build up, it consistently goes by fast due to the organization of the staff at the chairlifts.
Overall, Sunday River is a great resort to check out if you are a skier or snowboarder. There are a variety of restaurants on the strip of the resort to enjoy, and I look forward to its expansion!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Oct 1, 2023
This review is for the golf course, Jordan Spa, and Grand Summit Hotel: My wife and I were here on vacation about a week ago. We booked a stay at Grand Summit which was amazing. I booked her a prenatal massage with the Jordan Spa and they treated her as if she was royalty. I can only imagine how busy the place is during ski season, but I was so surprised that it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. My wife was the only person at the spa and had the outdoor heated pool all to herself while I was out playing golf. I got paired up with a random that was really cool and we both played pretty fast. I played from the blue tees and shot my second career round of even par with 6 birdies, so it's very safe to say that I really loved everything about the course! Can't beat the on-course views either!

Had a great time skiing, went to return my gear and was told i was late in returning my gear even though i requested the appropriate amount of time. guys at the ski shop really wanted me to pay another $90 on top of the $240 id already spent. i was very polite, did not raise my voice or disrespect the two angry guys working the ski return counter, however, Al, a older gentleman working the ski rack asked me where i was from, and when i replied he told me to do him a favor and never come back to Sunday River. I asked why he would say that, as i come spend money here every year with a group of buddies. Ski rental guys are conning people who don't resist paying the additional "late fee". just avoid even talking to them and drop your stuff off without saying a word to them just like everyone else-- as they're just looking to charge you again. Even tried making the argument that "i paid incorrectly" even though it's not my job to punch in the order into their flippin system.

Over 5 months ago we requested a room close to the elevators and NOT in the south wing which is the furthest away from the restaurant, the lobby, pool and our car in handicap spot! I requested it because I have a DISABILITY! I need an ankle replacement and I can't walk far before it starts hurting to the extent that I can't walk! My husband skis, I don't. I just come along for the pool or hot tub. On four occasions I let them know what I needed. First when I made reservations in the comment field. Second when I called to ask a question about the flooding they had and will they be open. A third time I called and asked if my food card was still good to use. The whole time reconfirming my request because of my disability! The one time I called the woman on the other end reconfirmed that the south wing was not good for me. Today after waiting 5 hours and waited on line twice to see what was taking so long and mentioning again about my disability, they finally at 5:30 PM gave us a room in the south wing! When I spoke to the manager she said "that's all we have and beside u are near an elevator". And she kept saying that to me! Yes, we are near an elevator but the walk to this elevator for me like walking a mile in pain!! I know how much I can walk before I can't. We also couldn't have been any further from the handicap parking where our car is!! "I can give you a wheel chair to use" she said. What good is a wheel chair when I don't even know how to use it or have someone push me! I would be banging the walls with it besides being exhausted trying to get myself to the other end of the resort! She pretty much gave me no choice because where were we going at this point. Now I have to stay longer in my room in between walking back and forth and resting my foot for the next journey! How insensitive this place is for people with disabilities!!! I am totally disgusted with this place!

Rented a house for the weekend at the base of the mountain - tried navigating the ridiculous website so we could go up the mountain on a Chondola, Gundola, establish exactly where it is, where I can get easy schedule information.... Show up ONLY to be told to go online to buy tickets, takes you to a site forcing you to join a site to buy tickets.... The woman at the counter was IRRITATED that she had to assist us.
GUYS!! You can't possibly be this out of touch when people want to spend $ at your establishment and make it this painful....
It's the slow season, to boot.
It's like you're stuck in 2003 or something.
Get it together!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Larry B.Westwood, MA1201Feb 24, 2023
Sunday River is too 3 mountains in the east. They have terrain for everyone and their grooming is top tier. Free bag check!!! And you can get a Bloody Mary at the peak lodge for 15 bucks which is unheard of at Killington.

Really unimpressed with the First Experience ski lesson at Sunday River with Mary C. The lesson, which was nearly $200, was supposed to be for 2 hours. Nevertheless, at 1.5 hours in, Mary C decides to end the lesson early to take 1 out of the 4 people taking the lesson on the ski lift. On what planet does that make sense? Really disappointed. Don't waste your money.
