The third annual WinterFest weekend at Black Mountain of Maine will take place on March 4, 5, and 6. The Rebecca Shaw Ski Day will kick off the weekend for us on Friday. There will be live music and ski and snowboard events all day. During the weekend there will be horse-drawn wagon rides, dog sled rides and scenic lift rides to the top of the mountain for a bar-b-que on the summit. WinterFest weekend is packed with family entertainment for skiers and non-skiers alike. There will be food and drink specials.
For those who have always wanted to try skiing or snowboarding, but haven’t gotten around to it, the mountain sponsors FREE clinics on the Moose Run, where skiing and riding is always FREE. On Saturday evening the novice area is shut down to skiers and snowboarders and opened up for sledding! For a small fee, sledders can ride the chair lift to the top of the novice hill then turn around and sled down. This has become one of the highlights of the weekend.
In the past, WinterFest weekend has offered one of the most spectacular fireworks displays in Western Maine immediately following the beautiful torchlight parade down the summit hill.
WinterFest weekend at Black Mountain of Maine is a must for all families in Western Maine. Mark your calendars now and look for updates on our website www.skiblackmountain.org or check us out on facebook.
