We’ve come a LONG way…

November 8, 2014 by WSKI Leave a Comment

When we shot this footage  over 30 years ago, we were really proud of the State of the Art snowmaking system at Sugarloaf that was more advanced than anyone else’s in the Pine Tree State! Since then technology has developed to improve efficiency, temperature range, & end product by leaps & bounds, but the one thing that remains constant are the Snowmakers! The names & faces may come & go over the years, but they remain the behind the scenes heroes who work in gnarly conditions on our 4237 foot mountain, to make the stuff we all love…. can’t imagine life without Snowmakers!! Hug a Snowmaker …… lots of effort in the weeks ahead …Thanks to everyone!!!

Sugarloaf opens back up for the season this Friday. See you on the hill! [Read more…]

Australian Snowmakers at Sugarloaf in 1989: First Women Ever to Join the Crew!

July 31, 2012 by WSKI Leave a Comment

Theresa & Lisa Scheimer were the first women to be Snowmakers at Sugarloaf, as part of a crew of six who came from Thredbo in the Snowy Mountains, at a time when Maine’s unemployment was low, & the head of the crew was part of the new computerization of the snowmaking system…. a concept that has led to drastic changes for the better in the years since; both product-wise & economically! This creative little homage to their experience was taped for the Snowmakers Ball of 1989 which they had to miss.
