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.

    The Maine Chance

    The claim of a federal “land grab” in response to the creation of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Maine revealed a lack of historical awareness by critics of how two other cherished parks were established there: through private-public partnerships and the donation of land by private citizens.

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.

  • Outdoors in Maine: Red River Country

    Outdoors in Maine: Red River Country

    Outdoors in Maine: Red River country By V. Paul Reynolds Published: Jul 05, 2009 12:00 am Most serious fishermen I have known tend to be secretive about their best fishing holes. I'm that way. Over the years, I've avoided writing about my most coveted trout "honeyholes" for fear of starting a stampede and spoiling a good thing. For some reason, though, age has a way of mellowing your protectionist instincts about special fishing places. At least, that's how it is for me. So pull up a chair and pay attention. You need to know about Red River Country. Red River Country comprises a cluster of trout ponds in northernmost Maine on a lovely tract of wildlands in the Deboullie Lake area ( T15R9) owned by you and me and managed by the Maine Bureau of Public Lands . (Check your DeLorme on page 63). A Millinocket educator, Floyd Bolstridge, first introduced this country to me back in the 1970s. Diane and I have been making our June trout-fishing pilgrimage to this area just about every year since. Back then, Floyd told about walking 20 miles with his father in the late 1940s to access these ponds. He and his Dad slept in a hastily fashioned tar paper lean-to, dined on slab-sided brookies, and stayed for weeks. Floyd said that the fishing wasn't as good 30 years later. Today, almost 40 years since Floyd recounted for me his youthful angling days in Red River Country, the fishing isn't quite as good as it was.
