About the Snow Bowl

Maine’s Best Winter Experience!

The Snow Bowl has that friendly small-town feel, and still rivals the best mountains in Maine, with nearly 1,000 feet of vertical elevation and more than 20 recently expanded runs.

Owned by the Town of Camden, the Snow Bowl is managed and operated by full time on-site town staff along with a complement of nearly 100 seasonal employees and volunteers.

During the off-season, the Snow Bowl property is a park, open to the public for hiking, mountain biking and other self-guided activities. The lodge is available for private rentals, and the Parks and Recreation Department offices are located within.

Nestled among picturesque harbors, charming inns and award-winning restaurants, the Snow Bowl is also the only ski area on the East Coast with ocean views.

Season passes are available as well as day tickets, and ski and snowboard equipment is available for rent. Gift cards in any denomination, for any service at the Snow Bowl, are available for purchase.

The Snow Bowl is also home to the country’s only remaining original, gravity-operated 400-foot-long wooden toboggan chute. Tobogganers exit the chute onto frozen Hosmer Pond for a thrilling ride from top to bottom. Each year in early February, the Snow Bowl hosts the U.S. National Toboggan Championships, a weekend of competitive racing since 1991 – in costume – capped by finals and awards for the fastest teams in a variety of divisions.

Snowmaking begins in early December, and the goal is to be open by Christmas school vacation week. The season extends through March 31, weather and conditions permitting.
