Time to start thinking about hitting the slopes! Find out when your favorite opens.

Even though we haven't even made it to Thanksgiving yet, before you know it, the 2023-2024 ski season will be underway in the state of Maine. In fact, the folks at Sunday River and Sugarloaf will be blowing snow very soon, so it won't be long now.
