Let’s face it: The best part about skiing and riding is, well… the experience of skiing and riding. 

While many of us love fun features and the adrenaline rush of a steep, fast run, there’s nothing quite like enjoying the flow of a long, uninterrupted run that goes on for miles.

If you think you have to head out west for that, think again. Here in the east, we have our share of long ski runs to enjoy. Here are some of the east’s longest ski trails.

Tote Road
Sugarloaf, Maine
Sugarloaf’s longest trail, Tote Road, runs 3.5 miles from the summit to the base.
