In two more days the Ski Museum of Maine will open its doors in Farmington, and all are invited to attend its open house.

The initial exhibit focuses on gear and apparel made in Maine, much of it drawn from the personal collection of ski maven Glenn Parkinson of Freeport.

The Ski Museum of Maine is located at Church Street Commons, 109 Church St. in Farmington. It's about 150 feet from Route 4, the main route to Sugarloaf/USA and Saddleback.

The open house is scheduled from 4-7 p.m. All are welcome. If you show up, it's likely you'll see your picture on this very blog! This Ski Bum, who proudly serves on SMOM's board, will be there with his digital camera.

SMOM doesn't have a regular website, but its Hall of Fame page on the Ski Maine website can be visited by clicking here.

Phone number of the museum is 207-491-5481.
