Photo courtesy I’ve been skiing all my life, literally. Some of my earliest memories are of Shawnee Peak. sliding around my back yard on plastic skis strapped on my snow boots, my older brother lifting me out of the powder after especially good wrecks. I was soon shredding gloves on the local rope tow, and had my first terrifying ride on a t-bar when I was seven. I have never missed a year of skiing since, even if it meant hiking after hours for turns when I was a grad student with “Your children will no extra cash, or bushwhacking for those special back woods lines. I now share that passion with my seven-year-old son who will never remember ski as well as learning how to ski any more than learning to walk or talk. It’s just what you do for one day we do when there’s snow. To say I live to ski would be an exaggeration, but to live without skiing would not be an option. Whether it’s a midnight run in your life.

    Celebrating and Preserving the History and Heritage of Maine Skiing • Spring 2018 SKI MUSEUM OF MAINE Jean Luce, First Lady of Maine Skiing By Leigh Breidenbach “...For the next few years [the] main proponent [of freestyle] was to be someone completely unaware of the large part she was to play”- Morten Lund Let’s be clear right from the start, Jean Luce will most likely disagree with the title of this piece; however if you read Dave Irons brief but spectacular 2004 Hall of Fame bio on Jean’s contributions to skiing and competitive skiing in particular, the title of “First Lady of Maine Skiing” is spot on. Jean has officiated at every level of ski racing: World Cup, World Championship, and Olympic. In 1969, she wrote the Eastern Freestyle Rule Book, which would became the first official USSA Freestyle Rule Book. Jean’s willingness to say yes to a challenge is well know in the racing world and at Sugarloaf in particular. In the fall of 1968, Jean and her husband Norton, members of the Sugarloaf Ski Club received a phone call from Roger Peabody, executive director of the United States Eastern Amateur Ski Association, asking if the Ski Club Jean Luce with Harry Baxter, Sugarloaf Ski School Director and Sugarloaf Ski resort would be interested in in a publicity photo for the 1971 Tall Timber Classic World Cup Race hosting a World Cup race. At the time the only U.S. area east of the Rockies that had been a Norton decided to take a trip and get a good look World Cup host was Cannon Mountain in New at the challenges facing the Sugarloaf Ski Club.

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.

  • By W. David Menzie and Helen L. Foster Open-File Report 78-529 D This Report Is Preliminary and Has Not Been Edited Or Reviewed
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY METALLIFEROUS AND SELECTED NONMETALLI FERGUS MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL IN THE BIG DELTA QUADRANGLE, ALASKA By W. David Menzie and Helen L. Foster Open-File Report 78-529 D This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Geological Survey standards or nomenclature METALLIFEROUS AND SELECTED NONMETALLIFERGUS MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL IN THE BIG DELTA QUADRANGLE, ALASKA By W. David Menzie and Helen L. Foster Introduction This report is an assessment of the metalliferous mineral potential of the Big Delta quadrangle, Alaska, by tract and by type of deposit, and a discussion of the occurrence of selected nonmetallic resources. The assess­ ment is based on investigations of the geology, geochemistry, geophysics, and telegeology of the area. Geologic investigations included regional scale (1:250,000) reconnaissance geologic mapping (Weber and others, 1978), age dating of selected igneous rocks (Wilson, 1976), and chemical analysis of mineralized and unmineralized rocks (Foster and others, 1978). Geochemical investigations included analysis of the minus 80 mesh fraction of stream sediments, analysis of the nonmagnetic heavy mineral concentrates of stream sediments, analysis of the oxide residue of stream sediments, and analysis of the ash of willow leaves and twigs (O'Leary and others, 1978; Hessin and others, 1978a-j). Geophysical investigations consisted of an airborne aeromagnetic survey of the quadrangle (Alaska Div. Geophys. Surveys, 1975) and an interpretation of the aeromagnetic data (Griscorn, 1978). Telegeologic investigations consisted of an interpretation of Landsat imagery of the quadrangle (Albert and Steele, 1978). Acknowledgments The preparation of this report was facilitated by the efforts of a number of people.

  • 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.
