No charge to hike in the off-season. Check out the Black & White hiking trail which spans the two peaks of Rumford Whitecap and Black Mountain. Black Mountain of Maine is on the move. An under-stated hidden gem for woods and off-piste skiers of all ability levels. Most recent Down Home Tour...

Hit up Black Mountain of Maine on the way up to the Summit on Friday. Only $20 for 9am-9pm and the woods are going to be great with 12-18" predicted. BMOM is closed Thursday but opens at 9am on Friday with very little groomed. Explore the 25 plus glades. Should be awesome. Sent from my SM-G930V...

Wait until you ski the stuff that was cut the last two years. Some real variety and terrain that rivals some of the bigger resort's offerings. Some 800 vertical glade runs, despite what the map depicts. Perfect AlpineZone Summit stop on the way to the Loaf.

Cheap option on the way to Sugarloaf; Black Mountain of Maine on Friday 9am-9pm for only $15. 8" of fresh waiting to be skied since the mountain is closed Monday-Thur.

Black Mountain of Maine rolls out the Friday Freshies Program, prices continue to drop as the season progresses. http://www.skiblackmountain.org/index.php/friday-freshies

Hopefully this will eliminate the "funk" emitting from the lodge lower level. It used to get pretty ripe at times...

Shawnee Peak's biggest appeal is their close proximity to Maine's largest population base and higher median income. With their w/e day ticket price increases and the fact that gas currently reasonable, may have Maine skiers seeking lower cost alternatives like Abrams, Black Mountain of Maine...

Black Mountain and Mt Abram are offering 1/2 price tickets for Season pass holders of participating areas (6 total). Abrams is great on powder days and looking forward to skiing their new terrain also.

XWhaler, Thanks. We're all pretty excited to ski the 5 new glades we cut this season. Many features and playful lines worked into the equation. $15 Fridays are a steal if it snows mid-week, plus I think management has talked about scaling back grooming wall-to-wall, making for plenty of POW...
