Stub spoke with WSKI a few years back
Stub Taylor cut trails on Sugarloaf Mtn. as a teenager under the direction of Amos Winter, & went on to be the head of the Ski Patrol for the better part of a half century.
Homage to the demise of the long time Sugarloaf tradition of an Easter Parade…
Used to be a big part of the Easter Holiday’s huge celebration at the Mtn. over the decades; from the adults who started with epic efforts 50 years ago, to the hundreds, probably thousands of kids who participated in the Annual Easter Parade as part of the Mountain Magic activities over the decades…. very sad […]
Wind Holds. Ski areas’ most hated conditions report!
Here’s an old video on what the process entails before any lifts have to be shut down, something no ski area ever wants to do, but most have to from time to time, including us: at 4237 feet, our big mountain is often a big target for breezes, too! Safety may seem too overblown, but […]
Same Mountain, same Joy: 2017, 1984, 2018? No place like it, no place we’d rather call Home, year in, year out…
One of my favorite days shooting this blue sky day’s video from the summit.. on 3/4″ tape w/ total equipment half my weight when very few others were doing so..Marketing got a lot of mileage from this footage….
Snowmaking & Grooming: CBB’s 1990 production Made in Maine
The technology has sure changed though the challenges of the elements of Sugarloaf’s winter weather & terrain will never make making snow or grooming it, easy. For all those who have worked so hard over the years, THANKS A MILLION, & those who do now, THANKS A MILLION, may you have a safe & successful […]
More from Howard Nielsen’s reports on Boston TV in the 1970s
Looking back on the sport we love is an interesting deja vu to northern New Englanders whose social fabric & economies are affected by, at the least, & dependent at the most, on the inflow of money & jobs that a healthy ski resort brings to rural mountain communities. This piece from 1976 will have you either chuckling or crying […]
Cool memories…………..
The temps are not what we winter people like, especially when Homecoming is days away & it is less than three months till Xmas! SO, here’s our antidote to the heat for those who will be glad to see it over..some footage from the Gondi, in the winter. Brief shot of full Patrol at the […]
Crash on Chicken Pitch: From the Archives
Here’s some footage of Patrol doing their thing on the old Chicken Pitch on Tote… thinking that’s David Cuttler w/ empty tobo, Mark Leathers w/ the loaded one? Quick glimpses of Stub & others.. the whole video is a flashback to days when that section of Tote could be challenging for some skiers! Our groomers […]
Horseback Riding behind Bigelow
Winterstick’s current Factory used to be the Golf Course’s original Clubhouse; who remembers when these horses were kept over on West Mtn, too, as an additional activity offered to guests at Sugarloaf?
Gondi Tower Work
Long ago, like today, work on the hill during the summer makes skiing possible for everyone in the winter. Unlike today, this old footage was pre-OSHA.. boy, pretty high up & not even tied off, those guys were all too hard working to have fear, & no one dared complain back then! & this was […]
