The wonderful Bear Bryant of US Ski Association fame for decades!!!

April 2, 2015 by WSKI Leave a Comment

“When you can take an advocation & make a vocation out of it, it is well worth the effort!!” Those of us who love to ski, & have wanted to ski more than anything else since we were kids, & have made our life & living from the world of skiing, have a special place in our hearts for guys like Bear! It is not an easy way to earn a paycheck, but it is a lifestyle we wouldn’t trade for all the money in the world, & guys like Bear are a big reason why: friendships within the skiing community are the best on the planet!! Love ya, Bear, ski on for decades to come!!

Maine Maple Sunday at Sugarloaf’s Sugarshack

March 29, 2015 by WSKI Leave a Comment

WSKI was lucky enough to get an early morning tour of Sugarloaf’s own Sugarshack on Maine Maple Sunday. Danny Barker walks us through the process, and thanks to Gifford’s, we enjoyed some of Sugarloaf’s own maple syrup atop some tasty vanilla ice cream.  Maine Maple Sunday is a day where the sugarshacks across the state open up their doors to the public to learn about this great pastime. Sugarloaf’s sap comes straight from big ole maple trees over on West Mtn. [Read more…]

1971 World Cup

March 24, 2015 by WSKI Leave a Comment

Solidifying Sugarloaf as a racer’s mountain five-plus decades ago, were the World Cup races that were moved to Maine after poor snow in Europe caused a change in venue in early 1971. The Narrow Gauge trail was, & remains today, a fantastic trail for speed events to slalom courses, & though the gear, grooming & generations have changed since then, the thrill never stops, or diminishes for that matter, for the run down our beloved ‘Gauge’! Go fast everyone, & Good Luck at the Nats this week!!
