SOUTH PARIS — Mt. Abram Family Resort was the recipient of the Oxford Hills Chamber of Commerce January Business of the Month Award.
Mt. Abram, in Greenwood, has made great strides this season with the commitment from a group of new investors, a restructuring of its ticket pricing in order to make skiing more attractive and affordable for families and visitors of all ages, the acquisition of inventory and equipment for its newly acquired on-mountain ski tune and rental shop, and renovation and construction of new facilities and buildings on the mountain, the chamber said in announcing the award.
In operation since 1960, Mt Abram is home to affordable Learn to Ski & Ride terrain, as well as being one of Maine’s favorite mountains for racing and exploring off-piste terrain, the chamber said. The ski area has 51 trails, five lifts, and a vertical drop of 1,150 feet. Many cherish the friendly ambiance created from the multigenerational families that call the mountain home for the winter season. Mt. Abram was the Winner of the 2012 Golden Eagle Award for Environmental Excellence.
The Chamber’s Business of the Month program is designed to raise awareness and celebrate various member achievements. Each month, the chamber makes a charitable donation on behalf of the Business of the Month to the Feeding Oxford Hills initiative or Rightstart’s Christmas for Kids and Teens programs. The donation is based on at least 20 percent of the net proceeds raised during the Festival of Trees event. The February donation of $175 will be given to the Feeding Oxford Hills program.
