Newbury, NH – (October, 2011) – In the 2011 SKI Magazine Reader Survey Mount Sunapee was ranked #1 in the East for Grooming and #1 in the East for Snow.  While Mount Sunapee has been ranked with the best snow surfaces in the East for the past six seasons by SKI Magazine readers, this is the first year that Mount Sunapee was ranked #1 in the East for both Grooming and Snow, the two categories which make up overall snow surfaces. 

In 2006 Mount Sunapee was ranked #2 in both Grooming and Snow.  From 2007 through 2010 Mount Sunapee was ranked #1 in Grooming and #2 in Snow.

“Consistent, reliable snow is what keeps our guests coming back,” said Bruce McCloy, director of marketing at Mount Sunapee. “I think the rankings show that while we are pleased to be ranked with the best snow surfaces in the East year after year, we don’t rest on our laurels.  Every season we rededicate ourselves to make the snow surfaces even better.  Despite the vagaries of New England weather, our huge commitment to snowmaking and grooming enables us to provide the best snow surfaces in the East day-in and day-out.”

Mount Sunapee received a total of nine “Top 10” rankings in this year’s reader survey.  Other top ten categories include Family Programs, Value, Service, Overall Satisfaction, Weather, Accessibility and Lifts. 

Mount Sunapee’s overall resort ranking in the East is #16.       

Mount Sunapee lives up to its tag line: Big Mountain - Best Snow - Your Backyard.  The resort offers over 1,500 feet of vertical, 66 trails and 11 lifts.  It is the closest big mountain to southern New Hampshire and eastern Massachusetts plus offers the best snow in the East.
