Sugarloaf to offer night skiing for WinterKids event

CARRABASSET VALLEY, Maine (AP) - Maine’s tallest ski mountain is going to offer night skiing for the first time. But it’s for one night only.

Sugarloaf announced Wednesday that it’ll be lighting up the Whiffletree Trail for a 24-hour ski challenge fundraiser for WinterKids in March.

For the event, teams will see how many runs they can make during a 24-hour period.

WinterKids is a program that’s aimed at fighting childhood obesity and getting kids to develop healthy, lifelong habits through outdoor winter activities.
