The movie was filmed entirely in the US, and features Sugarloaf as one of its twelve locations. “When Sugarloaf was shown at the start of the screening, cheering, roaring, and contagious smiles filled the theater. It was an honor to represent a mountain loved by so many.” said Trent Labbe, Sales Coordinator at Sugarloaf, after attending the film premiere.
