With all the warm weather we’ve been getting in Maine, we’re up for extending the summer well into the winter! A few of you might disagree, but we’ve been loving the ability to get outside and enjoy warmer temps knowing that winter will be here soon enough. Because the weather has stayed warm, we’re still doing the things that allow us to get the best views of Maine. Among them is this ride on a unique mode of transportation at Sunday River.
You probably think of Sunday River when the snow starts to fall and you want to hit the slopes.

While we’re not excited for a winter full of cold, we’re still pretty excited about going to Sunday River.

And that’s because despite there still being a few good months before the slopes open, the chondola is providing epic views!

The only one of its type on the east coast, this unique transportation is a mix of chairs and gondolas so visitors can choose their preferred method of getting up and down. The ride takes just under 8 minutes and feel exhilarating.

And while we love that for the winter, we love even more that it’s open all year.
