Maine & New England under a Powda’ Alert!

Ga'Day Powda' lovers! Where else, but right here in the GREAT State of Maine .. and even our close next door neighbors in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and the ski resorts in Quebec, Canada are all shouting "powda' alert!"

It's snorkel skiing at its best, and the forecast is for more coming Sunday!

Places like Shawnee Peak in Bridgton, Lost Valley in Auburn, Camden Snow Bowl, Hermon Mountain in Hermon, Saddleback in Rangeley, Sugarloaf in Carrabassett Valley and others all received a significant snowfall on Monday. Some trails got almost three feet of champagne powda! The same holds true for ski resorts in Quebec.

Bretton Woods in New Hampshire has reported almost five feet in six days!

Headed out west? The east has received more snow than many western resorts, and to think more about it … most eastern slopes are just a tank full of gas away. Drive today, ski today!

Special deals to get out and ski
Saddleback Mountain has a great deal going on Saturday, Maine Day for $25. At Mount Sunapee, a season pass holder can bring a friend on Thursday to ski for $39.

And Holy Cow! Shawnee Peak has several deals. Ski for CHEAP this Sunday. That's right. Two people can ski or ride all day this Sunday, March 1st for just $80. You have to purchase tickets online only before 10 a.m. this Thursday. After that, the deal is gone!

The outdoors is a great way to spend time together with kids, family and friends.


Ski and ride safely. Use your head and don't forget to wear a helmet.
