While we love the greens and blues of summer, there’s no denying that Maine comes alive in the wintertime. Especially after we receive the first significant snowfall! From the blustery coast to the tops of the mountains, this state is a winter lover’s paradise. But, let’s be clear about one thing. You don’t need to be an expert mountaineer to enjoy all that the season has to offer. If you’re a beginner skier (or know someone who is!) and want to try things out slowly, head to this spot. It’s gentle and fun with lots of opportunities for learning.

LIttle Titcomb Mountain in Farmington is the most adorable ski resort in the state.

While this isn't much of a worry at the moment given the recent snow, the mountain also has snowmaking capabilities that cover about 70% of their trails. They even offer night skiing twice a week.
