Maine’s Cat Skiing Destination

13 Passenger Snowcat at Big Moose Mountain, Maine

Cat Skiing in Maine

For years, the view and the trails from the summit of Big Moose Mountain lived in our memories — a place we all talked about, pointed to, and wished we could reach again. Now, that dream is back.

With the addition of our 13 Passenger Snowcat, reaching the top of 2,950’ Big Moose is once again possible. This isn’t just a ride — it’s a return to something special.

Our snowcat makes the summit accessible again, opening the door to unforgettable views, fresh turns, and a one-of-a-kind mountain experience found nowhere else in Maine.

FAQ

What is the Summit Snowcat?

The Summit Snowcat is a tracked, over-snow vehicle designed to safely transport guests to the summit of Big Moose Mountain. It provides access to terrain and views that were unreachable for many years and brings back a true Big Moose experience.

Who can ride the Summit Snowcat?

The Summit Snowcat is open to skiers, riders, and sightseeing guests.
Skiers and riders should be comfortable unloading at the summit and skiing or riding down from the top. This experience is best suited for confident intermediate to advanced guests. If you’re unsure whether this is right for you, our staff is happy to help you decide.

Sightseeing tours depart from the base lodge at the last run of the day and offer guests the opportunity to ride to the summit and return without skiing or riding.

How often does the Snowcat run?

Rides typically run every 30 minutes, depending on weather, snow conditions, and operational needs.

Do I need a reservation?

No, but it is highly recommended. Individual Summit Snowcat ride reservations open 72 hours prior to each ski day and must be booked online. Availability is limited per run.
