Sugarloaf rated top N.E. slope

CARRABASSETT VALLEY (AP) — Sugarloaf/USA knocked off Killington in Vermont to earn the top rating in New England by Snow Country magazine.

Killington dropped to second place for the first time since the survey began six years ago. Sugarbush, another Vermont resort, took third place and Maine’s Sunday River was fourth.

Snow Country calculates the top honors with a formula that includes a reader survey with features like snow making, vertical drop and season length.

The magazine rated Whistler-Blackcomb in British Columbia as the best ski area in North America. Another Vermont ski area, Mad River Glen, was rated best in North America for terrain.

Ski Ltd., the company that operates Killington, has bought a controlling interest in Sugarloaf, providing capital for additional improvements at Maine’s tallest ski mountain.
