New England Ski Resorts Shut Down Due to Heavy Rain and Road Damage

Several popular ski resorts in New Hampshire and Maine were forced to close due to heavy rain from a wind-driven rainstorm that melted snow on the mountains and caused flash flooding. Ski operations at Sunday River, Sugarloaf Mountain, Saddleback, Bretton Woods, and Loon Mountain were temporarily halted for repairs to roads and infrastructure. The National Weather Service reported over 5 inches of rainfall in some areas, leading to major flooding. The resorts are working to reopen as quickly as possible and rebuild snow cover with snowmaking.
