Johnsen Company of Portland. Despite these early glimmers of skiing awareness, when the sport began its ascendancy to popularity in the 1930s, the state’s likeliest venues were more distant, and public land ownership less widespread, than was the case in the neighboring states of New Hampshire and Vermont, and ski area development in those states was consequently greater.

  • Timeline of Maine Skiing New England Ski Museum in Preparation for 2015 Annual Exhibit
    Timeline of Maine Skiing New England Ski Museum In preparation for 2015 Annual Exhibit Mid 1800s: “…the Maine legislature sought to populate the vast forests of northern Maine. It offered free land to anyone who would take up the challenge of homesteading in this wilderness. ...Widgery Thomas, state legislator and ex-Ambassador to Sweden…suggested that the offer of free land be made to people in Sweden. In May, 1870 Thomas sailed for Sweden to offer 100 acres of land to any Swede willing to settle in Maine. Certificates of character were required. Thomas himself had to approve each recruit.” Glenn Parkinson, First Tracks: Stories from Maine’s Skiing Heritage . (Portland: Ski Maine, 1995), 4. March 1869: “In March 1869 the state resolved “to promote the settlement of the public and other lands” by appointing three commissioners of settlement. William Widgery Thomas, Jr., one of the commissioners, had extensive diplomatic experience as ambassador to Sweden for Presidents Arthur and Harrison. Thomas had lived among the Swedes for years and was impressed with their hardy quality. He returned to the United States convinced that Swedes would make just the right sort of settlers for Maine. When Thomas became consul in Goteborg (Gothenburg), he made immediate plans for encouraging Swedes to emigrate to America.” E. John B. Allen, “”Skeeing” in Maine: The Early Years, 1870s to 1920s”, Maine Historical Society Quarterly , 30, 3 & 4, Winter, Spring 1991, 149. July 23, 1870 "Widgery Thomas and his group of 22 men, 11 women and 18 children arrived at a site in the woods north of Caribou.

Draper was a New York Times writer who resigned to work as a forest ranger in upstate New York before the war. Wounded on Mount della Torraccia and with two Bronze stars, Draper returned to New York after the war and was instrumental in picking out the site for a new location for a state-funded ski area after its Marble Mountain location proved untenable. The second manager of Whiteface was Hal Burton, a veteran of the Columbia Icefields expedition, the 2662 detachment to Terminello, and author of a book on the 10th.

  • Nordic Skiing Timeline
    A Selective Chronology of Nordic Skiing Prepared for the 2009 Exhibit Nordic Skiing From Stone Age to Skating By Jeff Leich, New England Ski Museum 22,000 years Before Present: “An ice cap a mile high covered Greenland, much of North America, all of Scandinavia, Finland, the Baltic and the rim of Siberia. It spread over Europe, down as far as central France, around Lyon. There, the Paleolithic Cro-Magnon man hunted the reindeer roaming the tundra that ran up to the line of the ice front. Cave drawings hint that he knew the sledge, the snowshoe and the ski.” Roland Huntford, Two Planks and a Passion: The Dramatic History of Skiing. New York: Continuum, 2008, 3. Ca. 6000 BC: “The earliest known traces come from northern Russia, near the White Sea. They were uncovered during the 1960s by Grigoriy Burov, a Ukrainian archeologist, at a dig called Vis, after an adjoining river. They were in the form of fragments from about 6,000 BC. Belonging to the Mesolithic, that is between the Old and New Stone Age, they are among the oldest wooden objects ever found. They predate the invention of the wheel, in south-eastern Europe or Asia Minor, by three-and-a-half millennia. …the Vis fragments…come from a peat bog. They are common in the north and luckily preserve certain kinds of wood. About 200 old skis have been unearthed in Sweden, Finland and Norway and an unknown number in Russia. They span the best part of eight millennia. The archeological record is nonetheless incomplete.

  • The Civilian Conservation Corps and New England Skiing
    Winter Work: The CCC and New England Skiing Chronology By Jeff Leich, New England Ski Museum 1927: "When volunteer parties of Appalachian MC skiers, with axes and brush hooks in 1927 began chopping a ski trail over Barrett and Temple mountains in the Wapack range 50 miles northwest of Boston, we doubt if a single mile of downhill ski trail had been constructed (as such) or was even projected, anywhere on this continent. Twenty miles of trail were completed in the Wapack region before the idea spread further northward in New Hampshire, first to the Belknaps in 1931, and then in 1932 to Franconia Notch, NH and also into the edge of the Adirondacks at North Creek, NY." Ski Bulletin, January 25, 1935, page 5. 1932: "By 1932 more than 5 million young men were unemployed, and World War I veterans in huge numbers were also without jobs. These men roamed the coutnry looking for work, went on the welfare rolls, or turned to crime. Millions of acres of farm land were being eroded. Millions more were being threatened by fire or by indiscriminate timber harvesting. Recreational opportunities were being lost because of budget and personnel problems." Stan Cohen, The Tree Army: A Pictorial History of the Civilian Conservation Corps, 1933-1942, Pictorial Histories Publishing, Missoula, 1980, page 6. June 5, 1932: "Each fall I have had the desire to open up some of the old roads on the Cat for ski runs and hope to this fall.
