    Explore Maine:

    With the ski season almost over, now is not too late to book a ski-cation. Check with your mountain’s website as a lot of mountains have package deals with local rental agencies which will give you the best deal on lift tickets.

    RFID Gates:

    Now that most Maine ski resorts are using RFID gates to save time on lift loading and to offer a safe non-contact way of scanning tickets, we want to help you out!

    Is your pass not working? Ask yourself these questions:

    -Did I reload my day ticket online? If yes, you still need to visit the ticket office to make sure the pass is activated.

    -Do I have other passes, phones, credit cards, etc. in the same pocket? RFID passes work best in its own pocket.

    -Is the pass on the left side of your body? The orange part is the scanner.

    Trail Reports:

    Sugarloaf: 83 / 162

    Sunday River: 101 / 135

    Saddleback: 62 / 68

    Shawnee Peak: 29 / 47

    Weather:

    Take a look at the local weather and you’ll see we got our winter back – Maybe it was just for a couple of days but we have to count our blessings! Taking a look into the weekend, it should make for some great skiing and riding! You just can’t beat skiing on corn! While this weekend looks warm, expect colder weather to follow. With the wacky winter we’ve had, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see temps in the 20’s coming our way. After all, March is the snowiest month of the year.

    Weekly Recap:

    Well, we made this a short one today so you can get out on the hill and enjoy the last of the stiff snow before the warmer weather comes and the crowds follow. Have a great weekend Mainely Skiers!
