Samantha Wright Memorial Pool, Carrabassett Valley

August 27, 2015 by WSKI Leave a Comment

Located just behind the Carrabassett Valley town offices is the Samantha Wright memorial pool. Constructed in 2014-2015 this brand new pool replaced the older, aging pool. The pool is a 25 yard pool with lap swim lanes, a separate shallow area to accommodate children, as well as a new bath house… [Read more…]

Songs on the Summit w/ Rick Charette

August 25, 2015 by WSKI Leave a Comment

Kids programs have always been a strong part of the Sugarloaf community year-round, & this footage from the ’80s shows a summer day at the top of Sugarloaf with singer, songwriter, performer Rick Charette whose passion & talent for writing for children resulted in the well-known “Bubblegum” in 1983, followed in 1985 by “Alligator in the Elevator”. These kids would be in their thirties now, but probably still remember this happy day, courtesy of the beloved Sugarloaf Gondola, & the programs entrenched in our local lifestyle to ensure future generations of outdoors adventurers continue to thrive & love this place as WE do ….
Those were the days……..!!!

Jimmy Heuga Racing for MS on Bucksaw

August 13, 2015 by WSKI Leave a Comment

Jimmie Heuga was one of the first two American men to win an Olympic medal in Alpine skiing, and became a pioneering advocate of exercise and activity to combat multiple sclerosis, the disease that curtailed his athletic career. After the top-to-bottom Sugarloaf vertical challenge morphed into the Jimmy Heuga Fundraiser for MS, the objective of getting as much vertical as possible in one day caused the event to use a dedicated trail, Windrow, serviced by Bucksaw Chairlift. Now that Sugarloaf has announced Bucksaw is going away with no replacement being discussed, we are sad to see this family-friendly, wind resistant chairlift be quietly taken away this summer. Thanks for the memories, here are some to share!

Great way to see beautiful Bigelow!

July 21, 2015 by WSKI Leave a Comment

Out of the archives is this un-edited footage from the ’80s when horseback riding was available from Sugarloaf/USA as another non-winter activity to do in the region. There is a quick close up from afar of the fire tower at the summit of Bigelow Mtn, but although the tower & the horses are gone, that knock-out view from within the Bigelow Preserve along the shores of Flagstaff Lake still remains, with various ways to enjoy it; by foot, mountain bike, or boat! … or horse, if you bring your own! This is our backyard; you’re invited year-round! Come out & play!

4th of July in the Valley: ’80s style!

July 4, 2015 by WSKI Leave a Comment

Ice cream & kids & the 4th of July can only be improved upon by having a HUGE Sundae with a ton of kids to eat it before it melts! Yum!! It’s always been a great place to live for adventure seekers & relaxation experts: this footage from 1985 (best recollection!) shows it’s a great place to grow up, too!!

Happy 4th everyone!
