This. Also if you are a Maine H.S. Senior take advantage of the free years at community college, then transfer into Umaine with the transfer agreements. You can finish up at Umaine or USM in the degree you want, for half the price.

I learned to snowboard at Lost Valley when I was 32. They had an adult group class (as well as kids classes) and it was great to learn with other freaked out adults. It's also big enough of a hill to learn on, w/o it feeling scary but also cheap enough that you don't feel like you are spending a lot on a mountain that you cant use a lot of.
