Winter
One of our most abundant natural resources is snow. If you're a snowmobiler and looking to head out on the trails, you definitely need to be in northern Maine. Over 2,300 miles (3700 km), well-groomed trails, friendly people and lots of snow are the right ingredients for a great vacation…
If skiing is more your style, come visit the cradle of nordic skiing in North America. Two Olympic-caliber training facilities established by the Maine Winter Sports Center and numerous community cross country ski and snowshoe trails are waiting.
If you're an alpine skier, one of the area's downhill facilities will be a breath of fresh air - short lift lines, low ticket prices, and tons of natural snow.
Don't forget to attend one of the many winter eventswhile you're here - Enjoy Caribou's Winter Carnival, Mardi-Gras in Fort Kent, or the International Snowmobile Festival in Madawaska. In March, watch the thrilling Can-Am Crown Sled Dog Races. Enjoy clean country air while you get away from it all and find out why winter is better in Aroostook County.
Ski, ice-fish ice-fish, snowshoe, and then enjoy all the fine lodging and dining The County has to offer.
