7. Ice-Skating
Winter in New England is never complete without at least one visit to the skating rink, and there is nothing quite like skating in the fresh open air. Portland’s best spot is the Rink at Thompson’s Point, where skaters will find rentals and plenty of hot cocoa to sip while taking a break in the warming huts.
8. Tobogganing and Tubing
The nostalgic appeal of tobogganing is undeniable, but finding a good place to actually try it can be daunting at best. Thanks to the folks at Camden Snow Bowl, visitors have the chance to chute down a 400-foot slope built just for that purpose. Each February, the ski area hosts the U.S. National Toboggan Championships, which include a full winter carnival for the whole family.
