Over the last few days, the northeastern part of the United States was bombarded by a very large cyclonic system, which in Maine, we call “nor’easters.” Some places in the state received up to a foot or more of snow, indeed the first taste of winter.<\/p>\n

Just because winter is on our doorstep doesn’t mean outdoor fun is over! Maine has so much to offer for outdoor sports and adventures in the winter. From snowmobiling and snowshoeing to hiking and ice fishing, there’s no excuse to come down with a case of cabin fever.<\/p>\n

Winter is a time to enjoy the outdoors just as much as any other season in Maine, with a noticeable lack of bugs as a bonus. Check out skiing in the Carrabassett Valley area, whether cross-country or downhill. Or maybe enjoy a hot cup of coffee at one of the lodges of Maine Huts and Trails!<\/p>\n

Regardless, Maine wouldn’t be Maine without integrating snow into our culture. Check out this photo of a snow person named after former the United States Senator Olympia Snowe.<\/p>\n
