In 1966 the Snow Bowl received federal funding to expand the ski operations, resulting in four more trails, power transmission, and snow-making equipment.

While toboggan rides still occur, the weekend introduced ice carving, the polar plunge, the Maine State Snow Sculpture Championships, live music, the CamJam ski and snowboard exhibition and the annual U.S. National Toboggan Championships.

Jack Williams was a Camden local who spearheaded the renovation and documented the history of the snow bowl.
