Sugarloaf Mountain Pillowghan Square

Designed by Julie A Bolduc

This pillowghan square is named for a Mountain in Maine that is the home of the Largest Ski resort east of the Rockies, Sugarloaf!! It is named this because the rounds are different just like the trails on the mountain are different.
