The sun was shining, the snowguns were blowing and hundreds of skiers and snowboarders were having a good time yesterday when I visited Sunday River.

Two lifts were turning: the Locke Mountain triple and the Barker Mountain quad.

Lift lines were short and the Locke Mountain triple was also loading at the midpoint.

Best skiing was on Locke Mountain on the T2 expert trail.

T2 was also the site of a small jib park, which attracted lots of attention.

Guys check out the action on the small jib park set up near the bottom of T2.

Most of the people on the hill yesterday were season pass holders. Most of the one-day ticket buyers took advantage of a discount in return for a donation of three cans for local food banks. It's part of the statewide Tin Mountain Round Up.

Check the dates for this worthwhile promotion for other areas at the Ski Maine Association website.
