Been living in Maine a little over a year now and haven't done much backcountry here yet. Any recommendations?

Who are you? Our forests are pretty thick, but you can do some in the Camden area when it snows, Katahdin is good if you really know what youre doing,

katadhin has the gnarliest terrain in the east, but you need to know your shit to get there and it is a multi day trip. i do not know my shit nor am i a good enough bc skier to even think of going in there, but id love to at some point.
