Black Mountain of Maine may appear to be small, but once you compare it to other ski areas you'll see that the only thing small about it is the amount you'll pay to ski here! Our Alpine skiing and snowboarding area has a 1150-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! In all, there are twenty trails, including a glade, with over 90% snowmaking coverage, served by two chair lifts. The Black Mountain of Maine Terrain Park features a 300-foot half pipe with 12-foot walls and a variety of other "hits". The novice area's "green" trails and the "Moose Run" beginner area (open on weekends, free of charge) are great places to learn and play. Our varied and challenging trails, along with breathtaking views make Black Mountain of Maine fun to ski and explore the first time, and every time, you visit!

Chisholm Ski Club Junior Alpine Race Development Program

For the second year, Black Mountain of Maine, the Chisholm Ski Club and the University of Maine at Farmington Ski Industries Program have teamed up to offer a Junior USSA Alpine race program for J3, J4 and J5 level racers, ages 9 to 14.

This program is designed for the young alpine racer interested in a commitment to progressing within the U.S. Ski Association (USSA) system of development.  As such, the athlete's family must be prepared to travel and support their son or daughter's athletic goals.  All CSC members must be members of the Maine Alpine Racing Association (MARA) and USSA.  There are midweek and weekend training opportunities. Weekend training will take place at Black Mountain and Saddleback, depending on weather, snow conditions and race events. Midweek training will be Wednesday nights and some Friday nights from 3:00 to 6:00 pm at Black Mountain. The weekend training hours will be from 8:30 - 2:30.  

The program begins with fall conditioning and physical testing in October.  The athletes will be sent a conditioning program that they can incorporate into their fall sports activities.  The athletes are invited to gather once per month in the fall for a physical assessment testing session.  There is also an early season ski training camp opportunity in Colorado for those interested.  When there are good early season ski conditions at Sugarloaf and Sunday River the team will do on snow training fundamentals at those sites.  There will be a four day Christmas camp at Saddleback December 26 through 29.   The program ends the first weekend in April to include post season regional events and spring races. The Chisholm Ski Club also offers financial support to club members in good standing who qualify for championship events.
