Thankful? … you bet; for guys like these who made our Mtn. into the Legend it is in the East!

This casual conversation between original Sugarloaf patrollers Stub Taylor & Dana Wallace was captured in the Patrol Locker Room in Admin. during the early 1990s. It is a gem for the memories they share! It’s hard to imagine how different things were 60 years ago, but it’s easy to see this hard-core skiers’ mountain, has been respected & revered, & deeply loved, by three generations now! This seemed a good time  for us at WSKI to remind everyone of all the gratitude we have for those who have gone before to make the Mountain what it is today!

Hartford Ballet at the Mountain in the ’80s, & a Softball Game!

June 10, 2016 by WSKI Leave a Comment

Unlikely as it may sound, when the Hartford Ballet spent their summers practicing at Sugarloaf, locals who wouldn’t know a tutu from a tip-toe came to appreciate the talents of these professionals! With free performances in the Courtyard that introduced us to a world of dance & beauty that wasn’t exactly part of our Carrabassett Valley lifestyle, the comraderie that ensued (mainly at Gepetto’s!!) was another time when fun memories were created between our cultured ballet friends from the city, & us… kinda not a bit of either, but common bond was surely formed: great time at the Mtn. (& the Valley for this softball game!).

Powder magazine is what you look to for the most thrilling images to feed a skier/snowboarder’s dreams! So how did these three guys who have been skiing Sugarloaf for 50+ years manage to get a major story in the December issue? It’s all about attitude! Non-pretentious, serious skiing is what Sugarloaf, the Mountain, has always been about. Ostentatious, dry humor is what ‘Sugarloaf’ has always been about! Early Mtn. Manager John Christie, “Captain America” Peter Roy, & First in Line Don Fowler share some laughs on WSKI’s Evening show January 14.
