For a lot of people, the best part of a ski trip in Maine isn’t actually the skiing. Don’t get me wrong, flying down fresh powder is great. But the real highlight? That moment when the boots come off, the layers peel away, and the après begins. The music gets louder, the drinks get colder, and suddenly the mountain shifts into party mode. That’s exactly the energy Electric Mountain is built on.

The fourth annual Electric Mountain Festival is returning to Sugarloaf for a full weekend of EDM-fueled fun on Friday, January 9 and Saturday, January 10, 2026, taking over The Widowmaker at Sugarloaf for two nights of high-energy après.

It’s a full-on celebration that perfectly blends mountain life with nightlife, inviting skiers, snowboarders, and music lovers alike to trade their ski boots for dancing shoes. Whether you spent the day carving turns or just soaking in the alpine vibes, Electric Mountain is where everyone ends up when the sun goes down.

What makes this festival special isn’t just the beats, it’s the setting. There’s something unreal about dancing to electronic music surrounded by snow-covered peaks, knowing you earned that party after a long day on the slopes.

Sugarloaf has long been known for having one of the sweetest après scenes in Maine, and Electric Mountain takes it even further with a stacked lineup of electronic artists, immersive energy, and a crowd that’s ready to let loose.

Electric Mountain isn’t about choosing between skiing or partying, it’s about loving both, and maybe loving the après just a little more. So mark your calendar, grab your crew, and get ready for a weekend where Maine mountain days turn into electric nights.

Winter never sounded so good.
