Black Mountain of Maine Reviews

Nice small mountain, good people, good for learning

My wife and I went to Black Mountain for our first time snowboarding adventure. The staff at the rental shop and novice lift were extremely helpful with tips to try and help us. The novice area was big enough to get a good ride but small enough to learn on. Our overall experience makes us want to go again. Such a nice place!

With free season passes for K-2 children, the price to ski can't be beat. Affordable adult season passes (bought early) make the value worthwhile. We ski weekends and vacation times only and have found lift lines to be minimal, if at all. Vertical drop from top provides a good challenge, yet notive and beginner trails are just right for the younger ones.

Black Mountain of Maine - Nordic friendly....not Family friendly. As first time season ticket holders, my family has been disappointed. It appears that their primary focus is on the Nordic events. Agree that the lodge is nice, but with nordic events scheduled every weekend, it is just too crowded. The primary area of the lodge is overrun with Nordic skiers. Sprawled out on the floor and with gear all over the place. And with no changing facilities, they often strip down to their underwear right out in the open. Alpine skiers are relegated to the small bar area on the second floor - not the best place for families with young children. Have seen bathroom lines 15 - 20 people deep as the nordic racers need to release their pre-race nerves. And btw, the air dryers in the rest rooms are meant for drying hands...not warming up your nordic boots. All in all, a disappointment for my family.

Black mountain of maine is a great place to learn how to ski or snowboard. i learned how to snowboard hear and i will always treasure the great times at black. there is great people great skiing conditions and most of all it is a great place to be with friends and family!

Best little mountain,to ski on, the trails are entertaining,wide and well groomed.

We have 6 young children and have skied here 4 times this season. The beginners area is the best we've seen. Close to the lodge with a chair lift and varied terrain. the mountain is big - lots of nice runs from the top & challenging for all skill levels. The service is as good as it gets!!! The lodge is great for large families - very spacious and comfortable. Check it out

Its an ok mountain but there are much better mountains in maine
