The Camden Snow Bowl is a municipal ski area located on Ragged Mountain in Camden, Maine. Opened in 1936 during the Great Depression, it is one of the oldest continuously operating ski areas in New England and the only ski area on the East Coast with ocean views. The facility features 850 feet of lift-served vertical drop across 105 acres of skiable terrain, with 15 trails and two terrain parks.
Located about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) from Penobscot Bay, the Snow Bowl is notable for hosting the annual U.S. National Toboggan Championships on its 400-foot wooden toboggan chute, which terminates on frozen Hosmer Pond. The toboggan chute is the country's only remaining original, gravity-operated wooden chute of its kind. Beyond winter sports, the area serves as a year-round recreation facility offering hiking, mountain biking, and summer activities.
