Summary
While current skiable terrain remains limited due to the thin base, hope is on the horizon: the five-day forecast calls for up to 3 inches of fresh snow, with light accumulation of 0.22 inches expected in the next 24 hours. Though not enough to reopen lifts or groom trails just yet, the incoming snow offers a glimmer of optimism in an otherwise quiet season.
Despite the slopes remaining closed, Eaton Mountain is far from dormant. A long-term lease agreement was recently signed with a Skowhegan-based foundation aiming to transform the ski area into a hub for student-led redevelopment and outdoor education. However, the mountain's family ownership has faced setbacks this year, including a reported injury to the current owner. As a result, Eaton Mountain will not open for skiing this winter—but the mountain's future is being reimagined by the next generation. Stay tuned as this Maine gem begins charting a new course.
