We've stayed at Sugarloaf/USA in the winter and summer. The resort's relative isolation from major cities is a god-send for those serious about getting close to a first-class mountain, run by locals who are genuinely down to earth. Conversely, it is probably not the best choice for those who crave a glitsy apres-ski experience. While predominantly known as a ski resort, Sugarloaf also has a stunningly beautiful golf course and a well-run summer kid's day camp, the latter run in conjunction with the town of Carrabassett Valley. I think Sugarloaf's camps (winter and summer) are just as good as the famed Smuggler's Notch ones, but at a fraction of the price. There are also daily summer day tours that range from canoeing to moose-watching. There is a small spa in the Grand Summit Hotel, a larger health club and spa serving the rest of the mountain, as well as the so-called Anti-Gravity Center (shared with Carrabassett Valley Academy) at the resort entrance. The Grand Summit's restaurant is a bit pricey in the evening, but the breakfasts are reasonable. Other recommended restaurants nearby include D'Ellies (on-mountain deli), Hugs (Italian), and The Rack (American).
