It’s almost spring, & that means it’s time for Snowmakers’ Ball at Sugarloaf
If you’re inclined to be easily offended, skip this one… all bets are off for the shinanigans we used to get up to create our videos for the most important social event of the year, for the Mtn’s Ops crew at the end of every season since 1983. This video is from ’85. This is […]
Many thanks to Brud Folger for this classic Ski School Marketing Film
It may BE old, but it never gets old watching the stylish early instructors on our Mountain with equipment that was a FAR cry from today’s skis, boots, clothes… never mind the trail conditions with no grooming as we know it today! Harry & Martha Baxter, John Christie, & others who we knew & love… […]
WCBB’s Ski Show from the ’80s: Topic for this Show, Stub & our Patrol
It’s no secret Stub Taylor still has a big fan base in these parts, so here’s another video to share. The ski tips from Matt Waddle & Coach Reynolds are a free bonus. Enjoy this flash from the past as we roll into another year on the Mountain so many before made what it is […]
More from the Archives….”Won’t you become a familiar face here with us?”
Another Saturday for memories… rain down country, snow here, Snowmaking starts up tonight for the duration w/ Opening next weekend! Many thanks to Brud Folger for the footage from late sixties? Old Valley Crossing look familiar?? Parker’s narration is still spot on. From the stretch pants, to Harry & Martha Baxter & John Christie’s skiing […]
more Treasure from Chip’s Barn
An interview with Amos Winter! Priceless though brief. And more early skiing, love the cruising down Sluice … so much to love about this old footage. The area businesses from Kingfield to Eustis all presented together as part of the offerings to attract visitors here more than 50 years ago. The more things change, the […]
Sugarloaf… late ’60s-early ’70s? Anyone pin point the year?
We finally got the 16 mm projector set up to have a look at the footage ChipChop had stored in his barn in Kingfield. We are happy to share with our viewers both Channel 17 & world wide. Love the comment about John Christie, who was indeed one of the best/prettiest skiers this mountain has […]
Upper Winter’s Way in the early 1980s……
Homecoming means catching up with friends, tall tales of old are told, memories shared of past snow adventures with hopes for the ones to come to be as Epic as ever! Here’s some fairly old footage from Spillway cross-cut & summit to 5-side.. I think most of these guys still ski here, I know one […]
Local talent in old White White World Week Bartenders’ Race
Can’t resist sharing this from WSKI’s Archives. Once upon a time, W4 was a week of shear determination & endurance, & I don’t mean in the same way as the Carrabassett Backcountry Cycle Challenge.
While we dream of a new lift sooner than later, …
here’s to the old lifts we loved in the past & the many happy times we had thanks to them!! #5 & Gondi. Loved them both immeasurably!! May your spirits rise to create a brand new form (in the 2020 deadline plan) to make it a reality….
