Camden Snow Bowl


The Camden Snow Bowl is a small, town-owned ski area in Camden, Maine. Located about 4.5 miles from Penobscot Bay on 1300-ft. Ragged Mountain, it offers alpine skiing with views of the ocean. It also features cross-country skiing and a 400-foot toboggan run, on which the U.S. National Toboggan Championships are hosted annually.

History

The Camden Snow Bowl opened in 1936, in the midst of the Great Depression. The original lodge was built with donated materials and volunteer labor, while funding to clear ski trails and build a road to the lodge was obtained from the Works Progress Administration.
