  • Maine Olympians Exhibit Made Possible by the Generous Support of Maine Is a Special Place
    From the Pine Tree State to the World Stage Did you know that Maine has sent an athlete or coach to every Winter Olympic Games since 1948? Many other Mainers have served as officials and technical advisors over the years. We invite you to meet these remarkable people, and explore why Maine is home to so many outstanding Nordic and Alpine skiers, jumpers, and snowboarders. Maine Olympians exhibit made possible by the generous support of Maine is a special place Maine’s landscape, history, and communities have all played a part in the state’s Winter Olympic story. History Scandanavian immigrants first brought cross country skiing to Maine in 1870 when the state recruited more than 100 Swedes to immigrate and settle the town of New Sweden in northern Maine. Soon Norwegian and Finnish immigrants followed and settled across the state, bringing their skiing traditions and competitive spirit. In the early 20th century, towns celebrated winter with Winter Carnivals featuring Nordic competitions in cross country and ski jumping. Rivalries and the establishment of ski clubs and ski facilities followed, as Mainers pursued their passion for snow. Skiers, New Sweden, ca. 1935 Collections of New Sweden Historical Society Landscape Maine’s landscape is ideal for developing outstanding winter athletes. From miles and miles of cross country trails to challenging alpine terrain, opportunities to learn and perfect skiing and snowboarding skills abound. Communities Maine, a largely rural state, is known for its close knit communities. Several communities have developed strong Nordic and Alpine programs that have encouraged and supported young athletes. Maine’s many small community ski areas make skiing and snowboarding accessible and affordable to a broad range of people, and several Maine high schools have highly competitive ski teams.
