Big Moose Mountain Ski Area

Big Moose Mountain Ski Area is a small operating ski area in northwest Piscataquis County, Maine, sitting at 1,904 feet of elevation with 578 feet of vertical drop. The area offers a modest on-mountain experience in a rural setting well removed from major population centers, making it a local and regional destination rather than a destination resort.

Access requires planning and tolerance for remote, seasonal roads. The ski season typically runs through winter months when snow permits. Given the area's size and elevation, conditions can be variable, so checking current status before driving out is important. This is a place to visit if you're already in the region or committed to exploring Maine's smaller ski options rather than a destination in itself.
