With more than 50 miles of linear, groomed cross-country ski trails, Maine Huts & Trails offers one of the most unforgettable Nordic and backcountry skiing experiences in the northeast. In fact, the original vision of the founders was based on skiing hut to hut. The huts are the perfect destination for a day trip, or for an ambitious multi-hut expedition. While the trails are groomed regularly, you should be prepared for true backcountry conditions.
Guided Ski Trips
To add to your experience, consider skiing with a guide. Maine Huts & Trails works with several guides to offer a variety of guided ski trips throughout the winter.

Terrain
Most Maine Huts & Trails ski routes have a variety of elevation changes that require some descending skill. The trails from the airport trailhead to Poplar Hut and Route 27 trailhead to Stratton Brook Hut feature a significant climb for the last mile that inexperienced skiers may find challenging. Before embarking on your trip, be sure to look at the elevation changes on the map, and choose a route that matches your ability.
Rental Equipment
Cross-country ski equipment and snowshoes are available for rent at the Sugarloaf Outdoor Center. The Outdoor Center is a great resource for area trail information; ski tuning, waxing, supplies; lessons and more.
