Winter: Its winter in Maine and for many that means outdoor activities like skiing and snowboarding. Although skiing has been a Maine pastime for years, snowboarding has been steadily gaining popularity. If you go to any mountain in Maine you will see the number of snowboarders on the mountain now almost equal skiers. Snowboarders don’t use poles but rather depend on their balance to keep themselves upright which means shifting their weight in order to maintain balance and speed. A recent audience poll voted Sunday River, Sugarloaf and Shawnee Peak as the top three snowboarding spots in Maine. All three mountains offer snowboarding lessons for beginners as well as advanced techniques
for those who want to work on their style. Snowboarders will love the all terrain parks and pipe combos that each mountain offers. Shawnee Peak touts the largest terrain park which is well lit for night hours. While you are on the mountains enjoying the sights be sure to check out all the things to do during the evening hours. Apres ski, Maine’s ski resorts turn in a hotspot for lively and non-stop entertainment. Whether it be live bands, special evetn festivals or ski jam weekends, Maine’s ski resorts are hopping. Not in the mood for partying late night? Take the time to enjoy soaking in the hot tubs under the night sky with snowflakes falling all around. Plan a trip to one of Maine’s mountains this winter and see what the snowboarding buzz is all about!
