The ski resort will be closed a day later as employees assess damage and make repairs.

"Ski operations will be reopened as quickly as possible and snowmaking will resume once necessary repairs are made," Sunday River posted. "We appreciate the understanding and patience as we work through this. Updates will be shared through our daily Mountain Report."

Heavy rain also caused major problems in New Hampshire.

Loon Mountain ski resort will be closed Tuesday to drain and get trails back in shape for skiing. Attitash, Cranmore and Wildcat Mountain are all closed for the day as well.
