Hey BMOM Family!

We've got some exciting updates to share as
we gear up for an amazing ski season ahead!

We have a $1.2 million dollar project in the works slated for kick off in the summer of 2025 with the intention to have everything in place for the 2025/26 ski season!

Thanks to TWO incredible grants, that will cover almost 90% of the project, we’re not just prepping for this winter—we’re also planning huge improvements for the future of the mountain!

We were awarded a NBRC Grant which will allow us to install a total of 14 new fixed snow guns on the St John and Allagash trails. Plus, we secured a CDS Grant which will enable us 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 our snowmaking capabilities next level. We’re talking a longer season with more snow coverage!

Here’s where we are in the process: 
We’ve wrapped up the required federal environmental review for the NBRC grant, signed on with Maine Land Development for the pond engineering, and started surveying. Now, we’re focused on the next critical step: raising the $150,000 required as our matching contribution to fully unlock the grant. Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, friends, and the Black Mountain of Maine family, we’re making great progress. But we’re not there yet—and we need your help to close the gap. Every dollar makes a difference, whether it’s $1, $10, $100, or $1,000. Each contribution brings us closer to our goal.

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 we can complete these upgrades and continue providing affordable, family-friendly winter recreation for the River Valley and beyond.
