Established in the 1960's, Big Rock Ski Area was purchased in 2000 by the Maine Winter Sports Center (MWSC) through grants available from the Portland, Maine - based Libra Foundation. 

Big Rock and the Maine Winter Sports Center want to once again make skiing an activity for the whole family to enjoy by offering improved facilities and state of the art equipment at family-friendly prices.

Big Rock has taken many steps to make our facility the ultimate place for individuals and families to learn how to ski.  Extensive brush clearing, trail reconditioning and cutting, improved snowmaking capabilities, reconditioned and new lifts, as well as new grooming equipment have made the slopes more enjoyable for all skill levels.  To add variety to everyone's winter sports experience, we've added Cross-country and snowshoe trails as well as a snow-tube park.  Big Rock's lodge has been expanded to include a new cafe with hot food off the grill along with homemade soups, sandwiches, and snacks.  All of these changes have helped Big Rock become a family-oriented facility that has a small town feel with big mountain skiing.
