1. Student Survey

Thank you for participating in our study. We are a group of USM students, who are conducting a survey for a class project. We are interested in exploring the idea of expanding Maine’s two largest ski resorts to year round attractions. Sugarloaf and Sunday River have been winter vacation destinations for over 50 years. Looking forward, we are very interested in your opinion and would like to know if you believe this expansion to be a good idea. Areas we are researching include a fresh new concert series, Zipline & canopy tours around the mountains, & a transportation service provided by the mountain going to and from places around the state for special events. This survey is confidential and is only being used for our educational experience and benefit. Thank you for your time.
