The group that maintains Big Moose Mountain in Greenville is clearing four trails that people last skied nearly two decades ago. Friends of the Mountain, a nonprofit, pledged in March to use $200,000 to improve the ski area, including an overhaul of the lift and parking area upgrades, among other projects. One of those is reclaiming trails on the upper mountain, which began in early July and will cost about $57,000. Clearing the trails, along with the other improvements, is important to some community members whose hopes for a flourishing Moosehead Lake region were crushed late last year when developers working to revitalize the partially defunct ski resort halted their $126.3 million plans after failing to come to terms with James Confalone, who owns the property.
