Baker Mountain is a small community ski area located in Moscow, Maine. It consists of five runs (3 beginner and 2 intermediate) and a T-bar lift. The ski area is on the southern end of Pierce Hill (el. {{convert|1310|ft|abbr=on|disp=or}}), just north of its namesake, Baker Mountain (el. {{convert|780|ft|abbr=on|disp=or}}) It was started in 1930 by Allen Quimby Jr.

Baker Mountain is run by its pass holders, who volunteer their time. During school vacations the club operates a ski school.[1]

History

In the 1930s Allen Quimby Jr., operated a veneer mill in Bingham. An avid skier, Quimby put in the first rope tow at Baker Mountain; by the 1940s a second tow was installed. In 1968 the rope tows were removed and a T-bar was installed to bring skiers to the top of the open slope.[1]
