2024 Maine Skiing Trip Report - Hermon Mountain

Hermon Mountain Ski Area - March 12, 2024

There wasn't a trace of natural snow left at Hermon Mountain yesterday, but they did a really good job pushing the man-made snow that they had around to get good coverage on their open terrain. With no relief in sight from the warm weather and rain, they announced that it would be their second to last day of operation for the season.

Scenic Ski Trail

There were four ways down the mountain still open, Slow Poke or Lazy Lane to Turkey Path or Longview, Scenic, and Cloud Nine. All had good cover with no bare spots, thanks to the excellent work of the groomers, although you could tell that there wasn't much base left in many places. Conditions across the mountain were spring corn with bright sun and temperatures around 40. As the sun set, things actually got quite chilly, thanks to the wind, and the snow firmed up.

Slow Poke Ski Trail

As usual with Hermon, the mountain got quite busy, with lines peaking at about 5 minutes long around 5:00. However, lines were usually much shorter and were non-existent at the start and end of the evening. Although it's been a sad end to the season, these days of April-like spring skiing have been fun while they've lasted.
