Maine Ski Hall of Fame Celebrating 15 Years

By Dave Irons Chairperson, Hall of Fame Committee The class of 2017 includes a champion freestyle competitor, a World Cup DH racer, a long time high school ski coach, an Olympic Cross country skier, an outstanding cross country coach and author, one of the state’s longest serving general managers, a dedicated fund raiser and a cross country racer who won more medals after age 50 than most skiers do in a lifetime.

Ralph Ostlund Most skiers make their mark in the sport in their early years but taking a pair of trains to school made it impossible for Ralph Ostlund to go out for his high school team in New Sweden. While he skied about the time he learned to walk he got away from the sport. In 1973 at the age of fifty he quit smoking and returned to skiing and running. He skied XC races of all lengths and piled up the medals, but most important he passed along his love for the sport organizing races in small towns and worked at school carnivals, local races and other events in the County. He made Jesse Sandstom’s Facebook message is just one of many posted his mark inspiring younger racers even as on the Ski Museum of Maine FaceBook page: “I can hear him he beat them on the course, increasing his laughing right now “Woo-hoo!” Ralph is a true idol of mine. schedule of races after he retired at 65.

According to Robert “Bunny” Bass, his Uncle Willard started working on ski after the 1928 Lake Placid Olympics when American skiers brought back boots that the Europeans were using. While those first designs were for the jumpers, Willard was trying to make a downhill boot. Bass launched its’ first alpine ski boot in 1934 by putting a square toe on a stiff loggers boot. Two years later Bass supplied the 1936 U.S. Winter Olympic Team with separate models for jumping, cross country and downhill skiing. 1936 were the first to include ; the Bass Co. did not waste any time in making it clear the Maine industry can rival the best European ski boot. 5 Class of 2003: Class of 2013: Wendell “Chummy” Broomhall, Aurele Rand Stowell, Will Farnham, Greg Poirier, Legere, Robert “Bunny” Bass, Amos Winter, Howard Paradis, Bruce “Boogie” Cole, Gail John Bower, Otto Wallingford, Al Merrill, Blackburn, Craig Gray, Randy Kerr Wes Marco, Ralph “Doc” DesRoches, Russ Class of 2014: Haggett David Carter, Tom Gyger, Anna Parisien Class of 2004: Lavins, Bill Briggs, Nikki Pilavakis-Davoren, Greg Stump, Robert “Stub” Taylor, Linwood Rob Parisien, Brud Folger, Carl Burnett “Zeke” Dwelley, Donald Cross, Paul Kailey, Class of 2015: Roger Page, Tom “Coach” Reynolds, Sam Tom Kendall, Luba Lowery, Peter Davis, John Ouellet, Jean Luce, Birger Adolph Olsen Diller, Bruce Chalmers, Jill Sickels Matlock, Class of 2005: Megan Roberts, John Ritzo Theo Johnson, James C.

11 Ski Museum Is Getting A Much Needed Face Lift …. And More!

Thanks to generosity of the King and Jean Cummings Charitable Trust Fund, the ski museum received a grant this past summer, to help update the physical museum space including our office area, create new exhibits, and to purchase materials to insure our artifacts are properly stored and archived. The trust seeks to support programs in the arts, education and cultural preservation in geographic areas where King and Jean Cummings lived, worked and/ or had an interest. The trust was started by King because of his love for the Western Central Mountains of Maine, and his desire to fund good causes that contribute to quality of live and a stronger local economy. Warren Cook, King’s nephew played a pivotal role in the SMOM receiving the grant. Cook is on the Cummings Charitable Trust BOD and chairperson for the grant committee. According to Cooper Friend, a SMOM board member and long time Sugarloafer; “Warren is a big supporter of the ski museum and thought the grant was just plain a good idea.”

The King and Jean Cummings Charitable Trust Fund is part of the Maine Charitable Foundation, located in Ellsworth, Maine.
