More on Hiking Bigelow via the Appalachian Trail

November 17, 2014 by WSKI Leave a Comment

A few years ago when we made a commitment to bringing local information to our viewers to make their stay in the Maine High Peaks Region the best it can be, two of the first videos produced by our intrepid “Lonely Hiker” were for hikes on the AT at either end of the Bigelow Range. At the NW end is Cranberry Peak & at the SE end is Little Bigelow, both moderate hikes, &, in these videos, both are a good snowshoe trip in the winter, too!

 

Our production quality has become better since those days, but we trust the info is still useful for anyone who wants a glimpse at our region’s Appalachian Trail sections. We celebrated the 75th Anniversary of the completion of the last two miles of the entire AT between Sugarloaf  & Spaulding Mtns. on Aug. 18, 2012.

We’ve come a LONG way…

November 8, 2014 by WSKI Leave a Comment

When we shot this footage  over 30 years ago, we were really proud of the State of the Art snowmaking system at Sugarloaf that was more advanced than anyone else’s in the Pine Tree State! Since then technology has developed to improve efficiency, temperature range, & end product by leaps & bounds, but the one thing that remains constant are the Snowmakers! The names & faces may come & go over the years, but they remain the behind the scenes heroes who work in gnarly conditions on our 4237 foot mountain, to make the stuff we all love…. can’t imagine life without Snowmakers!! Hug a Snowmaker …… lots of effort in the weeks ahead …Thanks to everyone!!!

Perham Stream Birding Trail

October 22, 2014 by WSKI Leave a Comment

Located at the site of a once thriving, self-supporting community in East Madrid, Maine, is the Perham Stream Birding Trail, a  Sandy River Land Trust project which makes for a wonderful walk. Streams, open fields, and great mountain views await in this flat, quiet place with lots of bird habitat (over 60 species counted for). Grab a pamphlet at the kiosk and enjoy the self guided tour at your own pace.

To get there:

Turn onto East Madrid Road (at the Bruce Manzer hot mix plant sign) off Route 142 in Phillips. Travel on the East Madrid Road for a bit under 5 miles, and parking is on the left just after a small bridge crossing Perham Stream.
