Still a family favorite, Mount Abram celebrates 60th anniversary Diane Bair © Andy Gagne Folks have been heading to the slopes of Mount Abram for 60 years. Founded by three brothers, the Mount Abram ski area in western Maine has been delighting and entertaining families for six decades. The low-key, throwback mountain offers an alternative to New England’s major players, including Sunday River, its neighbor just down the road. The no-frills ski resort, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this winter season, draws a loyal following of families who have been skiing the mountain for generations. “Many of my closest friends are people I’ve met skiing at Mount Abram,” says Laurie Fitch, who has been skiing the mountain since she was about 5 years old. “I see new families come to the mountain and new groups of kids find each other and repeat the cycle.”
