Summary
Though current snowpack sits at just 2", a staggering 70% below average for this time of year, the incoming snow could be a step toward bringing a winter glow back to the slopes. With overnight temperatures holding steady at a chilly 27.2°F, snowmaking conditions are viable — if only the lifts were turning.
However, skiers and riders should temper expectations. Eaton Mountain will remain closed for the 2025 season, as confirmed by multiple local news outlets. The closure follows injuries sustained by the mountain's owner and a newly announced long-term lease agreement with a Skowhegan-based foundation. The mountain is now set to become part of an innovative student-led redevelopment initiative aimed at educational and community engagement. While the lifts may be silent this year, the future of Eaton Mountain is stirring with potential — and perhaps, in seasons to come, with the sound of skis carving fresh powder once again.
