Black Mountain, Maine Runs Capital Campaign Project For Snowmaking Improvements

Black Mountain of Maine is running a capital campaign project for snowmaking improvements

Kick off began in June & the intention is to have everything in place for the 2025/26 ski season!
Thanks to TWO incredible grants, that will cover almost 90% of the project, they’re not just prepping for this winter—they’re also planning huge improvements for the future of the mountain!

Black Mountain of Maine was awarded a NBRC Grant which will allow to install a total of 14 new fixed snow guns on the St John and Allagash trails. Plus, they secured a CDS Grant which will enable to double the size of our snowmaking pond and install brand-new snowmaking pumps with a state-of-the-art pump house. This means better snow and earlier opening on everyone’s favorites! These upgrades will make the snowmaking capabilities next level.

Here’s where they are in the process: Things are moving right along with our $1.2 million snowmaking project—& they’re getting closer every day to making it a reality for the 2025/26 ski season!

Every donation still counts!

As a thank-you, all donors will be recognized on a plaque displayed near the base lodge fireplace—a lasting tribute to your support. Your tax-deductible donation will ensure they can complete these upgrades and continue providing affordable, family-friendly winter recreation for the River Valley and beyond.

They say:

"We're not here to make money. Seriously. Kind of hard to believe in this day & age right? But it's true. We care about the health & wellness of our community & those in the surrounding areas. Keeping skiing & outdoor recreation at an affordable price is our way of giving back. Each year we give out nearly 200 free season passes to kids ages 5 and under & grades preK-2nd grade, as well as provide a fun, family place for people & families to gather & simply be together. Everything we do is to keep our ticket prices at an affordable rate.

"Your donation can help us continue to provide a place for kids of all ages to experience fun, family & healthy lifestyle choices. If you'd prefer to donate outside of PayPal, here's a copy of our Giving Form. "
