Many off season improvements to Black Mountain of Maine in Rumford, ME the last few years. This is a better representation of the current offerings compared to the old map. Not all glades at depicted and the map is not drawn to scale. The glades actually are longer than as shown and the new backcountry trails are much further east (bigger boundary to boundary footprint).
There's been a price increase for this year from $29 to $37 (holidays/weekends) & $20 Fridays, to offset Maine's minimum wage increase. Black is still a bargain in comparison to similar mountains.

Please consider checking out Black Mountain of Maine this year.

Only been once but their glades are the best in Maine outside of Saddleback. I'm definitely going to try and make it back this year!

Well said. When the glades at BMOM are in its a special place to be.

Nice work on the trail map too. Folks should make an effort to get up there. Some of the best tree skiing in New England

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.
