Solidifying Sugarloaf as a racer’s mountain five-plus decades ago, were the World Cup races that were moved to Maine after poor snow in Europe caused a change in venue in early 1971. The Narrow Gauge trail was, & remains today, a fantastic trail for speed events to slalom courses, & though the gear, grooming & generations have changed since then, the thrill never stops, or diminishes for that matter, for the run down our beloved ‘Gauge’! Go fast everyone, & Good Luck at the Nats this week!!
Maine Huts & Trails for Outside Television
A few years ago, video producer Dave Huot showcased the new & growing Maine Huts & Trails to our affiliates across the USA with this video that aired from Coast to Coast. There are now FOUR Huts, & some faces have moved on to other ventures, but the jist of the piece remains relevant: MHT has the answers to your desire to cross-country ski, or hike or bike in the warmer months, through the Maine High Peaks region’s beautiful terrain, & enjoy the comforts of food & accommodation provided at the Huts at the end of your adventure!!

Ensuring we can ‘play’ in our mountains forever…
Simon Rucker recently paid us a visit to share news about the latest endeavors on behalf of the Maine Appalachian Land Trust & others who are devoted to making sure that our mountains, & their wildlife, waters & endless natural wonders, are able to be accessed & appreciated not only by us now, but also the generations to follow, so they, too, can cherish the Maine High Peaks as we do today!!

Larry Warren was a guest on one of WSKI’s live shows recently to discuss the plans for a trail from the Canadian Border to Kingfield to tie the Maine Huts & Trails and Appalachian Trail into the decades old proposed International Loop Trail following Benedict Arnold’s journey from the Dead River (now Flagstaff Lake)to the Canadian Border, where it will connect to the Sentiers Frontaliers in QC.
News from Sentiers Frontaliers (the Border Trails!)
2015 is the 20th anniversary of when our northern neighbors began the extensive, fantastic hiking trail system which covers the distance from St. Augustin du Woburn (Rt. 27 Border Crossing) to Chartierville (N.H. Border Crossing), in Quebec, roughly along the ridge of the International Border hills, as well as many spurs on Mt. Gosford & Mt. Megantic, linking terrain that goes from mild to wild, & is appreciated year-round by hikers & snow-shoers alike! Our friends Andre & Monique paid us a visit to share their update: go check out their trails, if not this winter, next summer, for sure!! Bienvenue au Quebec!
