In 1947, three Cross brothers - Don, Norton and Stuart purchased 200 acres of land in Greenwood. They were loggers and this was common to purchase large lots for harvesting. It was in 1958 after a snow storm that the vision of a ski slope materialized. After purchasing additional acreage, and clearing the land the brothers commenced to establish Mt. Abram.
Fast forward to ski season 2020/2021 - Mt. Abram is celebrating 60 years of being "Maine's Family Mountain".
