HERMON, Maine — Seeing snowflakes on the forecast doesn't always warrant positive reactions from Mainers -- but in the midst of an odd winter season, there's at least one industry desperate for more snow. Ski resorts around Maine are welcoming any storms they can get, as mid-February rolls around.
Bill Whitcomb is the owner of New Hermon Mountain Inc. He says people from all parts of central and eastern Maine come to ski and snowboard these slopes -- and during a year marked by a pandemic, he has actually seen new visitors, as people try something new in an effort to get outdoors and stay active.
