Whereas the high point in Maine is a little over 5000 ft. New England mountains _do_ qualify as nasty places on any scale, with Mt. Washington posting 100+ mph winds on a regular basis and clocking over 200 on occasion.
The funny thing about that "flatlander" label is that few people in Maine actually live in the "mountains" -- not hospitable house lots or farms, what with no soil covering the granite and all. Most of them wouldn't support a goat.
