Mountain Village Farm B& B in Kingfield is the perfect place to base your Maine High Peaks adventures from, at any time of the year! The Barn on the Farm is also a fantastic venue for music, as we will appreciate this summer when Victor Wainwright makes an appearance on August 2nd. Circle the date: see you there, blues fans!!!
Spring ALSO means Fishing Season in the Maine High Peaks Region!
While the skiing continues on the Mountain, the fishing has begun on the streams & rivers as water opens under the warm sunshine! While lakes & ponds are still holding onto the ice, keen anglers are eager to cast a line & begin the new season. Our region has a number of Registered Maine Guides who are available to show you the hot spots if you are already experienced, teach you how to fly-fish if you’re not experienced, & share with you the local knowledge that will give you an appreciation for our region in ways you won’t expect! WSKI was happy to have Carrabassett Valley resident Bob Duport on the Mountain Report to give us the low-down on this Rite of Spring so revered locally, so stick that “Gone Fishing” sign on your door & cast a line w/ Bob!

Information that’s Good to Know!
Know Before You Go with WSKI!
WSKI’s Guest: Bike Coalition of Maine
Carrabassett’s emerging reputation as a destination for mountain bikers is attracting more visitors in the warmer months, & WSKI is always on board with any organization who encourages outdoor activities such as biking, SO we invited Nancy Grant to be our guest to share news about BikeMaine, an event offered by the Bicycle Coalition of Maine, a nonprofit organization with more than 5,000 members working to make Maine better through biking and walking. Although the event does not encompass our region, we support the “Get Outside” message! BikeMaine is a fully-supported, seven day cycling tour held in mid-September; cyclists pedal an average of 55 miles per day along moderately challenging terrain from Maine’s rocky coastline, to the foothills & lakes inland to Bethel.

Maine Maple Sunday at Sugarloaf’s Sugarshack
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…]
