Big
Squaw Mountain Greenville 207-695-1000
Big Squaw, a few miles from Moosehead Lake, has a
classic New England trail layout. An old double chair offers some
excellent terrain for advanced intermediates and experts services
the summit. (Note: The summit lift is not scheduled to operate
this season, therefore the only lift is the lower mountain triple
accessing 800' vertical of modest beginner/intermediate terrain). A
lower mountain triple chair caters
to intermediate and beginner skiers with gentle, wandering terrain.
The stunning views of Moosehead Lake and Mount Katahdin in the
distance are arguably the best in the Northeast! Squaw is not fancy,
it’s hearty and unadorned, with a very low lift ticket price!
