The legendary Inferno!

March 6, 2015 by WSKI Leave a Comment

Not many races are almost as much fun for spectators as participants, but on a couple crucial downhill corners, the entertainment factor is indeed very high!!
This race from the bottom of King Pine chairlift to the Outdoor Center is not for beginner cross-country skiers, but for every one else with some capacity for skinny skiing, gravity does all the work (mostly!), all you have to do is stand up & steer from time to time!!

Register before 9a.m. Sunday; catch this race 11a.m. start Mar. 8, don’t be late because you forgot the clocks go ahead Saturday night!!!

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.
