Snow is in the forecast this week and next! Our continued efforts to open more of the mountain means that conditions can change quickly. Groomed trails, lift status, trails-on-standby and other conditions will be reported each morning on our website and snow hotline.  Please call 207-875-5004 for the snow report on the days of operation. 


Ski Patrol and Mountain Ops will be assessing trail conditions each day to ensure that we are safely opening or closing trails throughout the day. We will make every effort to update the Trail Reports that are located in the common areas of the lodge, rental shop, ticket office and Westside.  For the best trail status information, check www.mtabram.com.

Ski School Updates

Dear Parents and Guardians:

Our 10-week programs will be starting on Jan. 7 and 8, 2017 and running  every weekend through March 11 and 12. In order to make the experience as positive as possible, here are some suggestions:
  • Please dress your child appropriately for the weather. We will run our program regardless of weather (unless we have to close the mountain due to extreme conditions: check our website at www.mtabram.com).
In cold or wet conditions we will watch our students closely, and take frequent breaks, but proper clothing can make a huge difference!
  • A good breakfast or lunch is important to provide the energy for 2 hours of physical activity.
  • The first 2 weeks of the program may involve some shifting of students from class to class as we learn how everyone fits in. Arrive at the meeting area at Westside, ready to go, at least 15 minutes early to help us establish the lesson groups.
  • Please tell us if your child has any medical conditions or allergies.
     
  • Still time to register for programs until Jan. 3
     
Thank you!
