Many ski resorts and companies posted April Fools Day jokes to their social media pages this year, and there were plenty of very funny videos, photos, and blog posts going around. Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine shared one of the more elaborate jokes, creating a full on short documentary honoring the iconic Maine accent.
The video stated intentions to rename the mountain’s many trails, most of which are currently named after logging terms, to celebrate the accent by dropping the “r”s. Winter’s Way became Wintah’s Way, Binder became Bindah, and Bubblecuffer became just Cuffah.
“This initiative will take shape over the summer months in preparation for next season. A huge thank you to our ski patrollers, trail crew, and retail staff for making it all happen. Look for new merch to drop Septembah 41st.” – Sugarloaf Mountain
Based on the ski resort’s Instagram stories, they actually did change the names on the trail signs, at least for the day. While it was just an April Fools joke, the gag felt like it honored the people that make Sugarloaf their home mountain very well. Shoutout to the Maine resort for putting so much effort into such a great clip.
