    Last Chair:

    Well Mainely Skiers, with five mountains to choose from by Saturday, I figured I should leave it short and sweet this week so you have all the time you need to get your gear prepped for the season.

    Snowmaking temps continued throughout the week, allowing the resorts to open with lots of trails, and the resorts already open able to expand quickly.

    Weather:

    This weekend will be a chilly one, so make sure you have good base layers. The lows will dip to around -7, with the wind chill making it feel even lower. Make sure you don’t have exposed skin, take breaks, and look out for little ones as frost bite could happen in these temperatures. For those planning some weekday skiing, you will also want to bundle up as next week, temps drop.

    Welcome to the Mainely Skiing Fall Email! This email will be sent straight to your inbox whenever we release new emails. In this email, we will highlight all the fall activities in or around the mountains of Maine!

    Maine Foliage Report:

    The Maine Foliage Report brought to you by MaineFoliage.com

    (AUGUSTA, Maine) – The Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (DACF) has released its final foliage report for the season, indicating peak and past-peak conditions throughout most of Maine. As the weekend approaches, central and coastal areas are nearing peak color, with leaf drop now ranging from 70-100 percent.

    This Week’s Foliage Outlook

    “This is ‘Maine’s weekend,” said Gale Ross, Maine’s fall foliage spokesperson. With the holiday traffic behind us, it’s the perfect time to take a leisurely scenic drive, hike, or bike ride and enjoy the colors with fewer crowds. Even past peak remains beautifully colorful and photo-worthy. As Vacationland prepares to put the trees to bed and we wrap up another fall foliage season, let’s thank all of the leaf lovers and everyone who celebrates Maine in the fall. There is still time to enjoy fall-inspired events and activities this upcoming weekend.

    Hermon Mountain Could Close:

    On a post made to Facebook earlier this week, they announced that if they can’t find a buyer, this season will be their final season operating the mountain. This mountain, closest to Maine’s third largest city, Bangor, showed 14 month-old me what it’s like to ski. This would be a tremendous loss to the Maine ski industry as smaller mountains like Hermon get young people on the snow for the first time. The easier terrain and perfect location show thousands what its like to ski or snowboard, eventually trying their skills at the larger resorts across the state. Read the full post below.

    Last Chair:

    This week was on the cooler side but still was warm enough to do things outside. Saddleback took advantage of the sunshine to re-splice their haul rope on the Rangeley Quad (video). Others got outside for some late-season leaf peeping. Whatever it is, there won’t be many days like this left before snow and colder weather sweep in.

    Weather:

    The rain is holding off and the sun will be shining, perfect time to be outside.

    What a strange week. While some days were great, most were either wet and windy or cold and windy. Wind was the theme of the week and that isn’t changing. See the full weather report below and make sure to keep an eye on our Resort Status page as all of some resorts have already closed for the season.

    Weather:

    Welcome to the ‘Spring In Maine’ tour. I’ll be your guide as we navigate all the season variations in three days. Today is bringing the wind, tomorrow with late snow, and wrapping it up on Sunday with ra*n. Keep tabs on the Mountain Lift Status page to stay in the loop with the current lift status.
