Mt. Abram is an independently owned ski area and mountain bike park in Greenwood, Maine, located a few miles outside of nearby Bethel, Maine. Since its founding in 1960, Mt. Abram has steadily grown from a single t-bar serviced area to a modest mountain, with over 1,150 feet (350 m) of vertical drop, four lifts servicing 10 easy, 21 Intermediate, and 13 expert trails.[1][2] The lift serviced mountain bike park opened to the public in the spring of 2020 and is one of three lift-serviced mountain bike parks in state of Maine.
On July 1, 2024, Mt. Abram re-joined the Indy Pass, giving pass holders two days at the ski area with no blackouts.[3] Mt. Abram was previously on the Indy Pass for the 2019-2020 season.[4]

Trails and lifts

Perspective
Mt. Abram can be broken up into two distinct areas, which are the Main Side and West Side. West Side is the beginner area which has one Double Chairlift and a magic carpet. Most lessons are taught in this area. The main part of the mountain is serviced by The Way Back Machine, a double chair built in 1970. The main mountain consists of many Black Diamonds and Blue Square trails.[1] Most trails at "Mt. A" (a nickname given by the local community) are named after the Rocky & Bullwinkle T.V show from the late 50's. Some names include Dudley Do Right, Boris Badenov, and Natasha's Niche.[2]
As far as lift service goes,[5] Mt. Abram has a reliable, low-capacity lift system. All chairlifts and surface lifts at Mt. Abram are under 1,000 riders per hour, in order to prevent trail congestion and high skier traffic across the mountain.

The Bike Park operates out of the Westside of the mountain and typically runs from Memorial Day through mid October. Over the years they have added more trails and in 2022 they debuted a trail system from the summit with advanced and expert terrain that can be accessed by the Way Back Machine chairlift.
