UPHILL POLICY

Know the Rules Before You Climb

Uphill access is a privilege. Conditions, routes and access can change throughout the day.

01 Valid Access Required

Carry a valid uphill ticket, uphill season pass, alpine ticket, regular alpine season pass or snowshoe ticket.

02 Check Status Before Every Trip

Big Rock Mountain Management may cancel or modify uphill access at any time for any reason.

03 Use the Designated Route

From the base, use Tucker’s Tunnel and Woodpecker’s Way unless otherwise stated. The Uphill Trail is considered backcountry and is never swept by Ski Patrol.

04 Yield to Mountain Operations

Snowmaking, groomers, snowmobiles, utility vehicles and mountain crews always have the right of way. Stop and step off the trail when equipment passes. Do not cross hoses or cables.

05 Travel at Your Own Risk

Outside normal operating hours, workers are not Ski Patrol and no rescue services are available. Use your own judgment and an abundance of caution.

06 Backcountry & Side-Country Hazards

These areas are not deemed open or closed and are not swept by Ski Patrol. Known and unknown hazards may be unmarked.

07 Follow the Responsibility Code

All skiers and snowboarders must follow the skier’s Responsibility Code while on Big Rock Mountain property.

08 Other Restrictions

Sleds, tubes, saucers, snowmobiles, fat bikes and other devices are not permitted unless authorized. Overnight stays are not permitted. Only service animals are allowed.

Maine Statute: Under Maine law, a skier assumes the risk of injury to person or property resulting from the inherent dangers and risks of skiing, including changing weather and snow conditions, natural and man-made objects, terrain variations, maintenance equipment, collisions and failure to ski safely or within one’s abilities.

Uphill travel during and outside normal operating hours is undertaken solely at the individual’s own risk.

UPHILL SAFETY

Move Smart. Be Visible. Give Operations Room.

Uphill travel can put you near active mountain equipment and unpatrolled terrain. Stay alert and conservative.

Mountain Operations

Give groomers, snowmobiles, snowmaking equipment and workers a very wide berth.

Low-Light Travel

In low light, use a headlamp and make yourself easy for equipment operators to see.

During Operating Hours

For an emergency, contact Ski Patrol at 207-425-6711.

Outside Operating Hours

No rescue services are available. In an emergency, call 911.
