Our Lac Mégantic Neighbors visit to tell about the 2017 Snowkite Quebec Cup
Talk about up our alley!!??!! This is pretty crazy cool!! This winter, the Mégantic region was proud to welcome the contestants and the organization of Zone Turbulence for the 2017 Snowkite Quebec Cup, the Quebec Cup snowboarding championship, for the third time. The snowkite or snow traction kite is a booming sport that saw its debut in Canada in 1990. Over the years, Quebec has distinguished itself by being recognized as a leader in this sport in North America. Snowkiting is a sport that combines the passion of the outdoors, certain athletic qualities and a need to experience thrills! On March 4 & 5, despite chilly temps, the wind & lake conditions contributed to a world record over 104 kph on a snowboard propelled by a kite! This event offers new visibility to the region while energizing Lac Mégantic, so we invited Simon & Simon to be our guests to share with our viewers their excitement & an invitation to join in the fun at next year’s event one hour north of Sugarloaf, or on a lake near you…!!
Maine’s Karl Anderson & Gail Blackburn; US Alpine Ski Team members in the 1970s at WSKI
Great to have both Karl & Gail be with us at WSKI for a special appearance during the US Nationals. I’d forgotten that ridiculous poster of KA going over the lip at Wengen!!! A long way from early days at Lost Valley! Just goes to show, you start as a kid having fun…. & you end up with decades of unequaled experiences in the snow in mountains around the world, & still smiling, at an age when some folks retire to flat-land golf courses…!! Maybe skiing is the fountain of youth???? Mentally, for sure!!! Thanks for being our guests; see you on the slopes, as always, Karl & Gail!
Sam Morse: another Local doing us Proud!
What is it about this place??? It never gets old, having some kid who we all watch growing up and enjoying the same trails as all of us, then they get out & about, & throw it down, again & again, standing on podiums around the world with that low key Maine charm & humility! Sam’s recent 1st place win at the World Juniors makes his racing at home currently in the US Nationals even more exciting… we couldn’t be more proud!
