Hit the Slopes
Locals and visitors alike know that a true Maine vacation isn’t complete without a run on the slopes. Whether you’re a self-proclaimed expert or have never tried on a pair of boots before, there are a plethora of resorts that feature everything from lessons and easy trails to night skiing, terrain parks, and challenging double black diamonds.

Opt for Dog Sledding
