SKI THE VIEW ⛷️ SAVE THE MOUNTAIN

The primary goal of this campaign is to purchase the 1,700 acre ski resort. Community ownership will protect and restore the property for generations to come. Once owned, immediate objectives would be to pursue chairlift access to the summit, expand snowmaking and renovate the upper lodge.

The Friends rallied the community in 2012 out of necessity. This grassroots, local group of diehard skiers could not bear the thought of having a lost ski area. Having been closed for over two seasons and seeing the property abandoned, a plan was put into action. Since then, the Friends have invested heavily into restoring the lower mountain. The original base lodge was fully renovated. New grooming equipment, safety equipment, snowmaking capabilities, new beginner lift install, and chairlift overhaul are just a few of the recent accomplishments to our $1.5 million investments. The Friends have served over 100,000 skier visits. Most important, they have taught thousands of Maine children how to ski, get outside, and find joy in winter.
