How to Score Lift Ticket Deals at Maine Ski Areas

Page last updated August 30th, 2024

With walk-up lift tickets well over the $100 barrier at the larger ski areas in Maine, many skiers and riders are looking for lift ticket deals and ways to buy discounted lift tickets. With a little planning you don't have to pay the window rate for lift tickets at Maine ski areas. 

If you plan to visit a ski resort more than 6 times you should consider getting a season pass. Alternatively, many ski areas offer buy-ahead lift ticket options (further ahead you buy, the more you save) including ticket packs, partial day lift tickets and discount lift ticket days where you can save some significant money. And the smaller ski areas in Maine always offer tremendous value for your outdoor recreation dollar.

Abram and Big Rock to offer some great lift ticket deals. Keep an eye on the L.L.Bean website for details and we will update this post when we have more information.

WinterKids

Families in Maine should definitely look into obtaining a WinterKids membership, which will be available for the 2024-25 season on October 1. Last year, a $40 membership fee covered a family of 5, and most Maine alpine areas are offering a free junior lift ticket with a paying adult. WinterKids also sponsored family days where app members received lift ticket deals for the entire family. The app also offers discounts for many other winter activities including cross country skiing and ice skating centers. Keep an eye on the WinterKids App page at their website for new year plan information.
