  • Alana Nichols
    USG-Sponsored Team USA Athletes ALANA NICHOLS I love what I do. I absolutely love it, and I believe in myself. I really do believe that I can accomplish what I set out to accomplish. —Alana Nichols The words ‘courage’, ‘determination’ and ‘champion’ are used a lot when describing Olympians. But when it comes to Alana Nichols, those words have never been more accurate. At the age of 17, Alana Nichols was snowboarding during an annual family vacation in Colorado. Attempting an ambitious back flip on the snowy mountains, Alana over twisted, lost control and landed forcefully on a rock, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. The years that followed required tremendous courage and commitment as she recovered from this accident and became even stronger than she was before. While recuperating, Alana took an interest in the sport of wheelchair basketball. After two years of hard work and training, she found herself as an alternate for the U.S. Women’s Team during the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens. Alana’s determination eventually led to her becoming a full-time member of the national team. And in 2006, she won her first silver medal at the 2006 Wheelchair Basketball Championship. In 2008, Alana was on the big stage again at the Paralympic Games, this time on a basketball court on the other side of the world, in Beijing, China. And that day, she and her teammates won Gold. But Alana, didn’t celebrate long. Instead, she moved to Colorado, with her eye set on an entirely different sport – Alpine skiing.

    Preserving Maine’s Skiing Heritage • Summer 2014 A quarterly publication of the Ski Museum of Maine, Kingfield, Maine • 207-265-2023 www.skimuseumofmaine.org • [email protected] Finding ‘lost’ ski areas: History hobby has strong roots in Maine By Scott Andrews Editor, Snow Trail They seek telltale remnants of skiing’s past: the lanky steel frame of a long-abandoned T-bar terminal thrusting through the puckerbrush, an ancient automobile engine rusting on a hilltop or a lone sheave train wedged in the branches of a tree. It’s the search for “lost” ski areas. It’s a interesting hobby and it’s happening all over the U.S. Few of the many practitioners know that the national lost ski area phenomenon has strong Maine roots and draws inspiration from our state. Or that Glenn Parkinson, who recently retired as president of the board of directors of the Ski Museum of Maine, was both a pioneer and an inspiration. It’s been nearly four decades since the T-bar at Mt. Agamenticus in York carried its last skier, but the derelict machinery still fascinates people who seek “lost” ski areas. Above: Cherie Perkins gazes at the upper Please turn to page 6 bullwheel. (Scott Andrews photo) 1 From the president... As the Ski Museum of Maine begins a new fiscal more and more year, we are laying the groundwork for updating of these stories our strategic plan, which I find very exciting. This and precious presents a wonderful opportunity to look at how we links to Maine’s can build the capacity of the Museum to support ski heritage are program expansion and increase community lost forever.
