Baxter Outdoors – Tundra 10K
Winter in Carrabassett Valley is truly a special time. Home to the highest concentration of 4000 foot peaks in Maine, CV is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise.
The Frozen Tundra 10k will take place in the heart of CV, beginning along the banks of the Carrabassett River. The course will consist of an approx 6-mile segment of snow covered trails with moderate elevation gain/loss.
Participants will have two race options to choose from. They’ll be able to choose either a nordic ski 5k + snowrun/snowshoe 5k (10k total) or a full snowrun/snowshoe 10k. For those choosing the full 10k run, the entirety of the course will take place on ungroomed single track trail. Depending on the conditions, either snowspikes or snowshoes are recommended. For the nordic ski 5k + snowrun/snowshoe 5k, the first half of the course will be groomed for a classic ski and second half will be ungroomed (snowshoes or snowspikes suggested.
There’s one more catch. You must carry all of your gear with you. Nordic racers must run the final three miles with their skis on their back while snowshoers who transition into a snowrun or vice versa must carry their snowshoes with them at all times (strapped to a backpack tends to work well). This race is both a test of athleticism and agility, pitting speed versus strategy. You’re free to run the whole thing and keep your kit light, but depending on conditions, that may actually slow you down!
The race will begin and end at the Carrabassett Valley town offices.
& while we have you, how is it being Maine’s Independent Senator??
Fresh from a trip to the Middle East & the State of the Union address, we had to ask ‘how goes the battle’ in Washington, D.C., too!
Sen. Angus King on the Sugarloaf Charity Summit
Thousands & thousands of dollars have been raised over the years at Sugarloaf to help find a cure for cancer, through the Charity Summit, an event that grew from the Jimmy Fund’s Celebrity Cup, to donate to Maine research & care facilities. One of the Honorary Chairs of the event is Maine’s Senator & ex- Governor Angus King, who paid us a visit to share w/ our viewers why he remains involved with this worthy, but really fun, event.
The Finest Clams in Maine & and beyond, IN the MOUNTAINS, yay!
Sugarloaf is home to the guys from Kittery-based Bob’s Clam Hut, who set up shop in the Baselodge & have been treating us all to not only the best fried clams & other seafood, but lobster stew to die for, too!! Their whole menu will keep you coming back again & again, & even make a seafood eater out of someone who isn’t, as seen in the interview on the Mountain Report, when Host Kip Files, who doesn’t eat seafood as a rule, had to admit, the taste of Bob’s Clam Hut’s specialties is DELICIOUS! Make sure you pay them a visit in the southwest corner of the Baselodge. A COMPLETE Maine vacation experience, INLAND, in the High Peaks, with no lighthouses!
