Carrabassett Region NEMBA club members Dave Hughes & Josh Tauses met Kip at the Quad over Homecoming to talk about the incredible on-going improvements to increase mountain bike riding options for beginners to experts in Carrabassett Valley. Word is beginning to travel through the nation that we are a destination for this fantastic outdoors sport that can be enjoyed by all ages & fitness levels, & for FREE, right here in our beautiful backyard! A million Thank Yous to all who make it possible through their hard work to create these wicked fun & ecologically sensitive & sustainable trails!! If you haven’t been out to see for yourself, what are you waiting for??????? Get out & ride!!!!!!!
Jud Strunk’s ConcAuction in Coplin
Thank you Michael Thom for this priceless footage from about 40 years ago of our beloved Jud’s cleaning house & the whole cast of characters, many no longer with us, some long gone to other places, but many still around here, who were loving the day, the place, the people…. Life in Maine…..
Jimmy Heuga Racing for MS on Bucksaw
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!
4th of July in the Valley: ’80s style!
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!
Spring Paddling (get it while you can)
