Eaton Mountain   This year (2014-2015) skiing at Eaton Mountain will be restricted to two handle tows on the lower 120 vertical feet of the mountain. Says New England Skier 13 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 04. You have to go 50 miles to get to a ski hill featuring a fuller-size elevation difference. This ski hill has a small set of trails and a small number of lifts. With a 525 foot height difference it's not the tallest hill there is, but Eaton Mountain compensates for it by other     means. Eaton Mountain has a much higher than average percentage of challenging ski slopes and a percentage of blue and green ski slopes much lower than average. The seasonal snowfall is lower than average at Eaton Mountain. Eaton Mountain is a more petite than average ski resort featuring a rather small-size elevation difference when compared to other east coast ski hills. The ski terrain being 50 acres, it's more of a small style ski resort. All the 15 slopes here are enjoyable to ski on. There are delightful comfy hotels here, but do book a room ahead of going since it is a very popular destination. The yearly snowfall of 6 feet keeps the ski slopes well covered through the winter season.   Snowboarding and skiing in this region is scores of fun during the ski season. Skiing here is always an enjoyable experience where lots of the runs push the limits of even the finest skiers. The winter months in Maine is truly a good time of year for snowboarding and skiing. Whether you're skiing or snowboarding, in this general area, you'll come upon a lot of ski hills. Getting your skiing muscles stimulated and just hanging out with your skiing friends will make you happy you came.
