1. Snowshoe

There are so many places to snowshoe in Maine, and it is a tradition that has been around for tens, if not hundreds of years. My favorite place to snowshoe as well as my moms is at the Camden Snowbowl. It's very inexpensive and has great trails. You can even go in your backyard!

2. Snowboard/Ski

My absolute favorite thing to do in the winter is to snowboard! There are many mountains that range from beginner to expert that are very inexpensive. Although it can be a tricky sport to pick up, it is always fun to try. From lowest to highest priced, Hermon mountain, Camden Snowbowl, Saddleback, Sunday River, and Sugarloaf are the most popular mountains in Maine.

3. Ice Skating

There are quite a few places to ice skate in Maine. Some indoor skating rinks are Sukee Arena in Winslow, Icevault in Augusta, and the Rockland Skating Rink. These places will often have public skate on the weekends for around $5. There are also some local outdoor skating rinks around.

4. Ice Fishing

Fishing licenses in Maine are around $25-$30. There are many ice fishing derbies in Maine to participate in and many lakes to do it on.

5. Snowmobiling/Sledding

Snowmobiling is amongst the most popular winter sports in Maine. There are approximately 14,000 miles of groomed trails. Sledding is also an awesome way to get out of the house without spending money. There are lots of big hills/mountains that cost very little money if not any at all.
