Sam graduated two years ago & is now on the US Ski Team, & we ALL are very proud to have another awesome local representing us so well on the world stage! Proud of you, guys!! Go Fast!!
Alex Tuttle keeps ascending!!!!
Local kids are always a source of pride for us in the western mountains of Maine, as we have seen many star athletes & wonderful people all around, grow up with the work ethic, outdoors appreciation, & willingness to set & achieve goals that drives us forward, no matter what life’s hassles throw at you! For Alex Tuttle of Stratton, his goals were forming in his mind very early, & with the chance to attend Carrabassett Valley Academy & be mentored by our two-time Boardercross Olympic Gold Champion Seth Wescott, the climb to the top is well underway!

US National Moguls Champion Jeremy Cota's brief visit home
WSKI was fortunate to have another extraordinary local athlete as our guest on the Mountain Report during his few days home for the first time in over a year & a half! 2007 Carrabassett Valley Academy graduate Jeremy Cota has had an amazing array of accomplishments as a member of the US Freestyle Ski Team, with this winter’s National title a befitting culmination to an excellent season! He had 12 top 10 finishes including four second place finishes in World Cup events in the 2011- 2012 season.
AND he represents us so well with his guileless down-to-earth attitude & self-effacing style, thnx Jeremy! Like we say at Sugarloaf: no need to brag, just show ’em on the Hill!
