Drawing upon more than 100 years of skiing, historic Black Mountain of Maine in Rumford is all about families. With tickets as low as $10, Alpine skiing, cross country skiing and tubing are all just steps from our new base lodge. We welcome families to make their own memories and develop a lifelong love of winter sports. A connection with a rich heritage of skiing is what makes Black Mountain of Maine so special. Around every corner is a little bit of history. If the trails could talk, oh, the stories they would tell. With each lift ride, each run, each cup of hot chocolate, your family will make memories that last a lifetime.

But, we’re not resting on our laurels because our new base lodge and upgraded lifts make Black Mountain a true, modern ski area. Our ski school and race program guide first timers and aspiring Olympians alike, and our Nordic trails routinely host high school and collegiate races, as well as national championships. The Alpine trails see events all winter long including races, snowmobile hill climbs and four Free Ski Nights. Known for value, Black Mountain of Maine has kept lift ticket and season pass prices low, with a special deal each Friday: $10 lift tickets. Maine children in grades K through 2 receive free season passes, and through the Need-to-Ski program, free season passes are available to many Rumford area children.

Our mountain has a 1,150-foot vertical drop, lit top-to-bottom for night skiing. The combined Upper and Lower Androscoggin trails make up a fabulous, “solid blue” intermediate run, almost a mile long. Black Mountain offers 25 trails, including a glade, with over 90 percent snowmaking coverage. These trails are served by a novice double chair and an advanced triple lift. Located on the Lower Rapid Trail, our terrain park is lift-served and is packed with hit, jumps and other fun features. The novice area’s trails and the Moose Run beginner area are great places to learn and play, especially for families as all trails lead right to the base lodge’s door.

With so much to offer, you’d expect big resort prices, but not at Black Mountain. Lift tickets are just $34 for adults and season passes are only $269. Our goal is to bring families into the sport, so we strive to make a day of on-snow fun truly affordable.

Since opening, Black Mountain of Maine has been making history, and we invite your family to make history with us this season.
