Maine’s snowmobilers are on the cusp of having a good year, if they could just get more snow. There’s enough for a good base and some riding in the Moosehead Lake area and regions of western Maine, but connecting trails have little to no snow. And what they have gets beaten up quickly with use, is the consensus among several clubs. Snowmobiling, skiing and snowboarding brought in $108 million at the end of the season in 2023, up from $68 million in 2022, according to the Maine Office of Outdoor Recreation.
