"As well as the reward of supporting a good cause, all are welcome to attend Sugarloaf for a fun and unique challenge. On February 26, at 8 p.m., the 24-hour ski challenge kicks off. With a free 21+ show hosted at the WidowMaker (a bar above the Sugarloaf lodge), the local Maine band, North of Nashville, will be jamming out from 9 p.m. to 12:30 a.m."
"The benefits of children playing outside are numerous. Sunlight provides Vitamin D, supporting immune health as well as bone development. It also prompts the body's internal clock (circadian rhythm) and supports healthy sleep, which is especially important for developing youth. Exercise, especially done in collaboration with others, not only improves health but also social skills. Playing in nature allows kids and their imaginations to run wild, improving their creative processes as well as learning from their mistakes in real time, which solidifies the lessons learned."
Sugarloaf Mountain will host a 24-hour ski challenge on February 26, 2026 in Carrabassett Valley to benefit the WinterKids charity. The event seeks $820,000 in revenue and welcomes skiers, snowboarders, and skinners to ski as long as they can in support of getting kids outside. The kickoff begins at 8 p.m., with a free 21+ show at the WidowMaker featuring North of Nashville from 9 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The initiative emphasizes outdoor play benefits for children, including Vitamin D from sunlight, regulated circadian rhythms, improved sleep, better physical and social health, enhanced creativity, and lifelong appreciation for nature. WinterKids provides activity guides, playlists, recipes, and educational puzzles to help families and communities engage children outdoors.
