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.

    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.
