Gear Picks & Pro Tips

Every outdoor experience is better with the right gear and expert guidance. But when that gear is made by locals who live, work, and play here — and oh, just happen to be seasoned experts with the best intel around — it’s pretty tough to beat.

The Katahdin Region is an untapped area of WORLD CLASS recreational opportunities with Katahdin as your backdrop literally everywhere you go. We love the beautiful, dark, starry skies and the picturesque bluebird sunny days. Pro tip: Winter. It's absolutely premier here, and people should do themselves a favor and come XC Ski or snowmobile, or even ice fish and see why people hold onto this place year-round.

At Mt. Abram, we have built a brand that embraces community year-round. Whether it's summer or winter, we offer trails for every skill level. We take pride in providing a mountain with options for families learning to ski and mountain bike, as well as thrill-seekers craving a more challenging experience. By uniting both ends of the spectrum, we foster a supportive community that thrives on spending time outdoors and progressing together.

We set out to create a kayak-on-snow experience, hence the name SnoYak! Yet we quickly realized that we needed edges so kayaks were a no go, and turned to using a single ski. Instead of a kayak-on-snow, we ended up creating a sitski that absolutely rips! Our unique design makes carving S turns super easy for everyone! We’re excited to be bringing a whole new way to ride down the mountain that provides more control and stability for adaptive skiers and a new challenge for existing skiers and riders.

We developed Spandits to meet a need that we saw in clothing for outdoor recreation. We're both runners and love to hike, snowshoe and ski. Our Icelandic Tights make it possible to run in temps as low as 20 degrees below zero. Our hats are designed with fleece to cover the ears, but have a single layer at the top for venting so that you stay warm without overheating while exercising. The hygge is a neck warmer that does more than keep your neck warm. It was designed to be a little more snug so that you can pull it up and rest it on your nose, preventing frost from going into the lungs.
