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 depending on your outlook, as the irony of much of the content over three decades later shows how much has changed, & yet how little. Will we ever learn? You be the judge! [Read more…]
Everyone wants to hear Roddy’s on-mtn. update
The Mtn’s summer crew who ensure the winter visitors have an excellent experience include trail cutters & bushwackers who really make a difference, guided by the likes of professional Ski Patroller extraordinaire Roddy E. who knows what a good ski line is… and how to ensure Patrol can get you out in case an unexpected tobo ride is necessary… pretty exciting to have more new terrain to explore this season… Off-piste terrain continues to grow & be ever more ski-able; thanks for all the hard work, Summer Crew. THINK SNOW!!!

Shipyard news at Sugarloaf’s Homecoming
One of Maine’s best businesses makes the best brews, & more, and we are always stoked to hear what’s new from the Forsley family & their crew, from the Coast to the mtns! A piece of the Sugarloaf fabric is stopping by the Inn on the Mountain, & since Shipyard’s Brewhaus has been in that space, the perfect blend of old & new makes it the place to be, & remember to look at retail shops, too, for their beers, ales..and more, to serve when entertaining, anytime!
Carrabassett’s Mtn Bike Trail Master Builder & Rider Josh Tauses
We are a bit prejudiced, but the original mountain bike crew in the Valley who started the ball rolling, er wheels rolling, to get serious about building trails to ride here in the Maine High Peaks, deserve a lot of thanks from all of us who struggle to make a go of our small businesses in the predominantly winter oriented, & snow dependent, local economy. First comes wanting to ride, then comes building the trails properly, then comes more visitors of all ages giving us more jobs year round! Pretty good story, isn’t it!? No wonder Josh is one of WSKI’s favorites….
