Mt Abram Ski Resort, Maine’s Family Ski & Ride Experience, is very excited for the 2017-2018 ski season. With Bob Harkins
as its “Fearless Leader,” (our new general manager) the resort is seeing a big push to complete some overdue projects. Mt. Abram has a lot in store for 2018. New this winter are improvements to the snowmaking and grooming systems: a reconfiguration of the lodge (including an enlargement of the Loose Boots Lounge), a new competition center, and designs on a new outdoor children’s snow park. Events are a big part of life at Mt. Abram, Winter programming includes themed weekends, dinner service, a Telemark Festival in early February, and full moon hikes to the “top shack” for hot chocolate and adult beverages. Maine Class A High School Championships and the Maine Middle School Giant Slalom Championships are among the competitive events to be hosted this year at Mt. Abram. Younger skiers and riders will also learn to appreciate Mt. Abram’s long history with 1960s cartoonist Jay Ward, creator of Rocky, Bullwinkle, Boris and Natasha, as well as the Fractured Fairy Tales characters as they are a running theme at the resort.
