As we wait for the snowmakers to fire up the guns and the season to start, check out this video of the original Whiffletree construction. Recognize anyone? The lift in the video has since been replaced with a Superquad and moved to what we now know as the Timberline lift… [Read more…]

Good-bye Adrian. You were amazing! We will miss you…..
We are incredibly sad that Adrian Brochu has left this earth too early; a hard-working man with a heart for people & adventures, & a visionary of the REAL kind as a lot of Maine people now & in past decades, owe their jobs in the timber biz to the forward thinking that kept mills Adrian was involved in, progressing as others shut. That’s REAL contribution to our communities; thank you. BUT, being a skier, when he came up with this invention to keep snow on the slopes, after seeing us in despair following bad weather events, Adrian became a hero in my Book! The actual project never went too far, but the premise was enough to make me love him forever! Never mind, he was one of the nicest guys you would ever meet and your day was always better after seeing him…… Glad we had the chance to know you, Adrian. Condolences to all the Brochu family.
Gauge headwall pre winch cats….
Some of Sugarloaf’s finest red jackets among the skiers in this vintage (1980?) clip from the headwall of Narrow Gauge WAY before Cribworks was cut to skier’s left. This is in pretty good shape compared to some days when VW sized moguls with ice troughs made things interesting w/ my old 215s….
A good skier then really WAS a GOOD skier….
