Summary
With a crisp overnight low of 14.4°F, snow conditions are packed powder on a solid 10" base—ideal for carving, especially given the mountain's current snowpack is only 47% of the seasonal average. While coverage is thinner than usual, grooming teams have worked wonders to maintain quality on open terrain. Looking ahead, skiers can anticipate a promising 6" of snow over the next five days, which will bolster the base and offer some much-needed refreshment for the slopes.
Off the mountain, big changes are underway that may shape Eaton Mountain’s future. A Skowhegan-based foundation has inked a long-term lease as part of an educational initiative, with plans for a student-led redevelopment of the ski area. This unique partnership aims to revitalize Eaton Mountain into a hub for learning and winter recreation. However, the community is also rallying around the mountain's owner, who was recently injured—an event that adds a note of concern amid the season’s early momentum. With new snow on the horizon and renewed energy from local partnerships, Eaton Mountain is carving a fresh path forward.
