Located on Mt. Agamenticus west of oceanside York, Maine, "Big A" ski area was designed by Sel Hannah of Sno Engineering. An upside down ski area, the main lodge and parking areas were located on the summit.
After decades of attempts by numerous parties at developing a ski area, Mt. Agamenticus was formally dedicated by Governor Reed on Saturday, December 19, 1964. The area was composed of a double chairlift, T-Bar, and rope tow and would feature snowmaking and night skiing.
Following the 1974-75 season, a massive real estate development was planned around the ski area. The proposal ultimately failed and the ski area closed.
Mt. Agamenticus is now features multi-use trails, however the remaining ski lifts no longer operate.
