Big Squaw Mountain Resort is a ski area in Greenville, Maine. Opened in 1963, the ski area is located on the north side of Big Moose Mountain (named "Big Squaw Mountain" until 2000), overlooking Moosehead Lake. The resort featured two chairlifts that covered 1,700 vertical feet.
After a chairlift accident and subsequent closure, the ski area operated on a limited basis from 2004 to 2010.
A community group called "Friends of Squaw Mountain" has recently fixed up the ski area, and the Lower Mountain reopened in January 2013.
