Once upon a time, the skier’s paradise known as Sugarloaf consisted of just a single path, hand cleared by a small group of avid skiers. They shared the dream of skiing down the mountain named for the wide-open snowfields that made it appear sugar coated well into the spring. In the summer of 1950 they devoted their weekends to carving out a ski slope on this special Maine mountain. That slope -- which they named “Winter’s Way” -- became the first attraction in a place that has grown into a four-season, multisport resort.
John Christie fell in love with the place in 1954 and he’s been a Sugarloafer ever since, even serving as general manager of SUGARLOAF/USA . In The Story of Sugarloaf, he tells all about the mountain’s ups and downs, including the resort’s explosive growth during the 1960s, the financial slide that followed, and finally Sugarloaf’s comeback and expansion. Knowledgeable about the sport and business of skiing, Christie is the inside source for the story of one magnificent mountain.
