Travel restrictions to Maine during Covid-19
Visitors entering Maine from other states must:
(1) Get a recent negative COVID-19 test (see more information at link above), OR
(2) Conduct a 14-day quarantine after arriving in Maine
Exemptions from both requirements above are allowed for residents of exempted states: Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts. This policy applies to day trips in and out of Maine.
Maine residents who visit an exempted state are not required to quarantine or test upon returning to Maine. If Maine residents visit states or nations other than those that are exempted, they are required to quarantine for 14 days or to get a negative test.
When entering commercial lodgings, people who are not residents of Maine or states exempt from quarantine requirements will be asked to sign a Certificate of Compliance stating that they have received a recent negative COVID-19 test result, that they will quarantine in Maine for 14 days (or the full duration of their stay if fewer than 14 days), or that they have already completed their quarantine in Maine. This form must be provided to check-in at all Maine lodging.
Seasonal homeowners, workers traveling to Maine, and other visitors may also utilize a recent negative COVID-19 test as an alternative to the required 14-day quarantine in Maine.
Maine is gorgeous place to ski and snowboard, even if you consider only the beauty of the surrounding mountains. But that is just the start. New Hampshire’s White Mountains spill into the western mountains of Maine and Maine has plenty of home-grown peaks.
The biggest mountains include Saddleback, Sunday River, and Sugarloaf, along with many other full service ski areas [see listings below]. Scattered throughout Maine are smaller family-oriented ski mountains, and even a distinctive location where skiers can look out over the Atlantic Ocean from the slopes. History-minded skiers may enjoy visiting the Ski Museum of Maine in Kingfield. Ski Maine, the state’s ski marketing organization, along with individual skiing, boarding, and cross-country ski area, offers lots of deals, discounts, and incentives programs to get people onto the slopes.
