Maine Vacation Deals

It’s kind of funny how an area’s reputation for being cold and snowy can seem like a bad thing, unless of course you’re in love with skiing and boarding. Then it’s a fantastic reason to come explore what Maine has to offer. There are 20 ski areas for you to choose from. Some of the trails are ideal for beginners while others challenge the pros. Skiing in Maine can often get overlooked because of Vermont’s slopes, but that only means shorter wait times for you. Plus, the peaks here get a good snow dumping not only from Mother Nature but also from the latest snowmaking machines around. Explore what Maine’s mountain ranges have to offer you this season. It might just become your new favorite place to hit the slopes.

Sugarloaf

As one of Maine’s highest mountain peaks, Sugarloaf gives you plenty of space to perfect your craft. It’s also the only place in the east to give you above tree line skiing, which is kind of nice if you’re having problems stopping and want to avoid a meeting with some bark. Once at the top, the runs at Sugarloaf are ideal to simply push off and zig zag you’re your way down the entire mountain face. Plus, with an average snowfall of almost 250 inches per year and not a whole lot of crowds, you’ll have enough powder to enjoy for your time here.

Sunday River

How can you go wrong at a place that is home to the American Skiing Company? Well, you just can’t. Spreading across nine mountain peaks, Sunday River gives you so many trails it’s near impossible to do any repeat runs… unless of course you choose to tackle the same one over and over again until you perfect it. If you need a little help in honing in on your skills, Sunday River has a great ski school. The snow is fantastic whether you love to swoosh down the runs or try your luck on a few jumps. Whatever you choose, Sunday River should leave you feeling satisfied.
