I expected it to be different – and by different, I mean harsher and more unrelenting – than the ones I’d experienced in New York and Connecticut, but nothing can quite prepare you for the sheer amount of snow that continues to pile up through the season, how grey everything looks after awhile or the days when it’s so cold, your face really, truly hurts. Heck, for that matter, nothing could prepare me for how quickly we ended up acclimating to the changes. In the end, we learned so much. How to stay warm when the temperatures plummet. The value of warming the car before driving. What layering your clothes really means. Meanwhile, my kids embraced the great Maine outdoors through skating, snowshoeing and playing outside often. This season? I am hoping to hit the slopes with them. I started downhill skiing when I was age 5 or 6, and much like John Holyoke shares in his essay (page 27) in this issue, I fell in love with the speed and thrill of going down the mountain. I’m hoping that with some lessons my kids will love it too. Reporter Shelby Hartin shares some great money-saving resources in her story on page 20 for families looking to try skiing. I expect that we’ll also love sampling the new breed of slope-side dining cropping up around Maine, which reporter Kathleen Pierce explores in her story on page 23. And perhaps this season, we’ll make it to the Camden Snow Bowl for the World Toboggan Championships. Of course, we aren’t quite ready for the wintery excitement of snowshoeing and camping at Baxter State Park that Aislinn Sarnacki explores in her story on page 10. But maybe next year. How about you? What adventures are you planning for this Maine winter? I hope this issue of the BDN’s Outdoors Magazine inspires you to get out there and explore.

BY JOHN HOLYOKE, OUTDOORS STAFF WRITER owadays, Matt Dunlap has a pretty important job in state politics: He’s Maine’s Secretary of NState, after all. But when he was a kid growing up in Town Hill on Mount Desert Island, he had a bit of a reputation … one that his father was more than happy to tell anyone who’d listen. “I was not an energetic kid. My father would explain to people that I was the only person that he’d ever seen with no shame,” Dunlap said. “[He said] that I was the laziest per- son in the world, and that I would do nothing for days.” Then, about the time he turned 9 years old, something changed: Dunlap, who had gravitated to the adventure stories of Kit Carson during weekly trips to the Somes- ville Public Library, got the chance to live out some adven- tures of his own. Mentored by an older man, he took up trapping. “When I took up trapping, [my father] was absolutely astounded that I was so committed to it, and would do everything by the num- bers, every single day,” Dunlap said. “He was amazed at the trans- formation of responsibility that came over me.” Not many Maine youths are ac- tive trappers. According to the Maine Department of Inland Fisher- ies and Wildlife, in 2013 just 236 of the 3,141 licensed trappers were younger than 16. But Dunlap said the lessons he learned over a six- or seven-year Micah Shamlian, 11, and his stepfather Kevin Smith trek across span were immensely valuable. In a frozen field back to their vehicle after a morning of checking muskrat and beaver traps in Newburgh. Micah, who is fact, he says taking up trapping homeschooled by his mother in Carmel, learned about muskrats changed his life. several years ago before going out trapping with Kevin. The two “It set a course for me that I real- enjoy their time together in the outdoors and tend 27 traps. ly didn’t see at the time,” he said. Photographer LINDA COAN O’KRESIK | BDN 6 BDN OUTDOORS ● bangordailynews.com ● Winter 2015/2016 Dunlap hasn’t trapped for years – real life got in the way, and the activity is very time-consuming – and admits that an odd convergence of circumstances led to him being allowed to trap in the beginning. “There was a fella in the area whose name was Skip Leach,” he said. “He was a bit of a legend in trapping circles, which I didn’t real- ize. And he would talk to my father and was always looking for places to run a trapline.” Dunlap’s dad wasn’t interested, explaining that with young children and pets running around the family farm – one of those pets a victim of an irresponsible trapper’s trap years earlier – he wasn’t interested. But his young son was interested. And then the chickens got involved. “My mother spent a lot of money on Hubbard’s golden comets,” Dunlap explained. “They’re beautiful, big, fat, slow, egg-laying hens. They can produce like a half-dozen eggs a day. But they’re also very tasty, and foxes and raccoons really like ‘em. So we were losing a boatload of chickens to predators.” The solution: Allow young Matt to learn the trapping trade from Leach, in hopes of providing a safer environment for the hens. “It was just the greatest learning experience in the world,” Dunlap said. “I learned more about the outdoors in those six, seven years that I trapped than I probably ever have at any other time since.” Among Leach’s most valuable lessons, according to Dunlap: Ethics. “He would take me to other guys’ traplines that he knew were breaking the law and he would say, ‘This is what gets us in trouble. Don’t ever do this. This is how trapping gets banned in other states.” And while he never got rich, Dunlap did find a bit of financial security in trapping, especially for a young boy. “It was my Christmas money,” he said. Up in Presque Isle, Corey Graham took up trapping because of his son’s interest in the activity. Graham’s son, Ben, is now 13. And after learning to trap from his grandfather, retired game warden Charlie Merrill, Ben decided that he and his dad ought to trap together. Ben Graham of Presque Isle enjoys trapping with his dad, Corey Graham. Photo courtesy of COREY GRAHAM Kevin Smith lends a helping foot as his stepson, Micah Shamlian, 11, chips at the ice around a muskrat trap in Newburgh last winter. The duo began trapping together when Micah started looking for a way to earn spending money. Though they didn’t catch any muskrats on this day, Micah said he always enjoys being outdoors, learning about animal habitat and behavior. Photographer LINDA COAN O’KRESIK | BDN “Two summers ago, he and I took our trapping [education] course together, and got our trapping licenses,” Corey Graham said. Ben is also an avid hunter and fisherman, and has shown that he’s willing to endure the harsh conditions that trapping requires. “He loves the outdoors. [One day] it was pouring rain outdoors and he still wanted to go trapping,” Corey Graham said. “That’s one thing that’s going to draw him [to an activity]: Being outdoors and wading around in some bog.” Corey Graham said he tries to teach Ben something new every time they go out, but the simple act of spending time together is beneficial. “He’s got a sister who has been a very successful basketball player, and that was kind of her thing. I’d take her to tournaments and AAU,” he said. “This is kind of our thing that we do together: We hunt and fish and trap together. It’s just a good family time.” Corey Graham said his son earned a bit of money last winter, but quickly learned that his ultimate goal – buying a high-priced bird dog with his earnings – wasn’t within reach.

    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.

    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.
