Maine Ski Competition: Highlights from the Past 100 Years
Speakers: Scott Andrews and Bruce Miles

Join us for an adaptation of Maine’s Ski Museum’s popular “fireside chats” as Scott Andrews and Bruce Miles present a two-part talk and slideshow on skiing competitions in Maine over the last century. A number of races will be highlighted—both those that were highly competitive and some that were featured at entertainment-based events such as winter carnivals.

A major focus of the talk will be the 1971 World Cup, one of the pivotal events in Maine ski history. The race took place at Sugarloaf and is the subject of a Maine Memory Network exhibit project by the Ski Museum, which will be unveiled at the presentation.
