  • Usa Cross-Country Skiing Olympic History
    USA CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING OLYMPIC HISTORY US Olympic History: The United States has never had a strong tradition in cross-country skiing. The sport was one of the original Winter Olympic sports, débuting at the first Winter Olympics in 1924 at Chamonix. US men have competed in the sport at each Winter Olympics since, with only one medal to show for that, which was a silver medal won by Bill Koch in 1976 at Innsbruck in the 30 km, an event no longer contested at the Olympics. Koch was an innovator in cross-country skiing, however. In the early 1980s he pioneered the skating technique of skiing, later called freestyle, and used it to win the 1981/82 World Cup title, and place third that year at the World Championships in the 30 km. Women’s cross-country skiing débuted at the Winter Olympics in 1952, but the US did not enter any women in the sport until 1972, fully missing five Winter Olympics, which is unusual for the United States, which usually participates in all sports, men and women. The 1972 US women’s team were pioneers, led by Martha Rockwell, who placed 10th that year in the 10 km event. The other team members were Barbara Britch, Trina Hosmer, Margie Mahoney, and Alison Owen-Spencer. US women have yet to win an Olympic medal, although Kikkan Randall is threatening to do so in Sochi. Randall specializes in the sprints and could medal in either the individual sprint or team sprint. To date the best finish by US women was 6th in the team sprint at Vancouver by Randall and Caitlin Compton.

  • 2017 Winter Snow Trail
    Celebrating and Preserving the History and Heritage of Maine Skiing • Winter 2017 SKI MUSEUM OF MAINE Bean Boost: Maine’s iconic outdoor retailer major factor in skiing history By Scott Andrews Editor, Snow Trail For more than a century, L.L. Bean has been identified with Maine’s sporting heritage, especially hunting, fishing and general outdoor recreation. And for many of those 100-plus years, the company’s role went much further than selling top-quality goods. L.L. Bean also actively promoted and spread the gospel of outdoor recreation via lessons, programs and sponsorships. So it should come as no surprise to learn that Maine’s iconic outdoor retailer also boosts the sport of skiing in a major way. The story of that Bean boost began in the 1920s and continues to the present. This issue of Snow Trail Leon Leonwood Bean (left), founder and namesake of Freeport’s traces the history of the company’s famous outdoor retail firm, is pictured with an unidentified man at a 1947 contest which awarded a trophy to boys and girls for involvement. proficiency in skiing.

  • Cross-Country Skating: How It Started
    Cross-Country Skating: How it Started Few sports have changed as rapidly and dramatically as did cross-country skiing in the 1980s. For more than a hundred years cross-country competitors had universally raced with the ancient diagonal stride, alternately kicking and gliding. In retrospect, it was remarkable that no one saw how much faster a skier could move if he propelled himself by skating with his skis, in the manner of an ice skater. America’s Bill Koch first observed the skate step at a Swedish marathon, then applied it to win the 1982 World Cup of Cross Country skiing. Immediately the sport was engulfed in controversy over the new technique. Within five years, World Championship and Olympic cross-country skiing was utterly transformed. Now there were as many medals for Freestyle, in which skating is permitted, as would be awarded for Classic, in which skating was prohibited.
