The "Old Blue" chairlift, Maine's first, was installed in 1954 and made the sport of skiing accessible to millions of people.
At left is Don Moen, public relations director at Pleasant Mountain. At right is Peter Solari, outside mountain manager. Part of their jobs was skiing every day to insure familiarity with the mountain.
The photo was taken during the winter of 1971-1972.

Margaret May, left, and Doris Kloth look at a brochure at the Pleasant Mountain Ski School in Bridgton.
Robert May took the photo of his wife, and Kloth, who was on skis for the first time. The Mays and Doris and Luther Kloth were newlywed couples from Falmouth.
May sent the photo to the ski area.
The Pleasant Mountain Ski School taught the new and exciting sport to many thousands from the 1930s to the present time. This was probably a publicity shot.

As part of the 1971 World Cup Ski Races title theme, "Tall Timber Classic," large tree trunks were used as flagpoles. They were placed in front of the Base Lodge at Sugarloaf where the awards ceremonies and other events tool place daily. Three professional lumbermen volunteered to put the flags up and take them down each day.
The three volunteers who shimmied up the poles each day were Bernard "Barnie" Thompson of Brewer, ME; Daniel Harkins of Greene, ME; and Wesley McKagne of Westbrook, ME.
The US, Maine and FIS were the three flags flown each day. The FIS, Federation Internationale du Ski, is the governing body of international alpine ski racing.

US Ski Team member Bob Cochran of Richmond, Vermont leaves the starting gate of the downhill course on a training run during the February, 1971 World Cup ski races, held at Sugarloaf.
Bob was one of four family members who were on the US Ski Team. His sisters Marilyn and Barbara Ann also competed in the World Cup races. Younger sister Lindsey was a promising junior racer who later became a US Ski Team member. The Cochran family still is heavily involved in ski racing with the next generation now competing. The family still operates a rope tow ski area in Vermont. Race starter Al Pire, in hood and goggles, looks on. Like most race officials at the 1971 World Cup, Pire was a volunteer.

Swiss ski racer Manfred Jakober is seen in the finish area after crashing against the fence. He finished the race successfully but could not stop before hitting the wooden safety fence. The result was a bent pole and bruised ego. Along with his fellow members, Manfred was using borrowed skis.
The Swiss Ski Team lost most of its equipment due to a fire in their waxing trailer the night before the scheduled Giant Slalom race. The race had to be postponed a day while competitors arranged to borrow equipment. The World Cup was still in its early years and much camaraderie existed between the competitors.

Edmund Bruggman, a Swiss Ski Team racer is shown after finishing the men's Giant Slalom. He placed second behind Gustavo Thoeni. Gruggman had a very good chance of winning this race before his skis burned in the Swiss waxing trailer fire 2 days earlier. Considering the fact he raced on skis borrowed from Italian racer Gustavo Thoeni who placed first, he did quite well to come in second.
Bruggman was born in 1943 and lived in Flums Sitzerland in the Canton of St. Gallen. He was an outstanding Swiss racer winning 5 World Cup races (4 in Giant Slaom and 1 in Slalom) between 1968-72. He also won an Olympic Silver medal in the 1972 Olympics held in Sapporo Japan.

Pictured here is Aurelio Garcia, a Spanish Ski team member, who had stopped at Judson's Sugarloaf Motel and was talking to Edna Judson, the owner. Judson was explaining to him that he has the wrong hotel and that he was staying at Roger's Motel in Stratton, which is 12 miles up the road.
Since Sugarloaf did not have the large on mountain village with lots of condos then, as it does today, racers and others were housed at various motels and hotels from Farmington to Rangeley.

An unidentified male racer is shown getting unwanted air time during the Downhill race on the Narrow Gauge Trail.
This section was in the first third of the 8220 foot long course that had a vertical drop of 2430 feet.
The racer in the picture was skiing at over 60 mph here when a bump in the course gave him an unwanted lift off. The fastest portion of the Narrow Gauge race course was on Kangaroo Hill in the bottom half where speeds approached 80 mph.

This was the official invitation to the Old Fashioned Maine Clambake which was held as part of the 1971 World Cup Ski Races at Sugarloaf. The clambake consisted of the usual fare of Lobsters, Clams and Corn, but also had another Maine specialty, Moose.
The freshly killed Moose was supplied by the Maine Warden Service. At the time there was no hunting season for Moose in Maine, but when one was killed in a vehicle accident, the meat was usually given to an institution.
The Clambake was held in what was known then as the East Wing of the Sugarloaf Base Lodge.

The Swiss Ski Team was housed at Judson's Sugarloaf Motel which was owned and run by Irv and Edna Judson. Pictured here are three Swiss Alpine team members. From left to right they are Edmund Bruggman, from Flums, Peter Frei, from Davos, and Bernhard Russi, from Andermatt.
Bruggman came in second place in the Giant Slalom on a pair of skis borrowed from Gustavo Thoeni. The Swiss Ski Team's wax trailer caught on fire and destroyed most of their ski equipment.
Of the three, Bernhard Russi had the most spectacular racing career, winning the 1970 World Championship Downhill and a Gold medal in Downhill at the 1972 Olympics in Sapporo Japan, plus many individual World Cup wins. Russi later went on to be a pre-eminent Downhill race course designer. One of his most famous is the "Birds of Prey" course in Beaver Creek Colorado. Bernhard was also the winner of the 1971 American Arlberg Kandahar Downhill Race at Sugarloaf.

This image shows local artist Parker Hall holding up a sign he created to direct skiers not to unload from the T-bar anywhere but the top.
This sign was needed because the T-bar had been derailed from its rigging due to racers jumping off before the designated unloading place. This happened because when the skiers would jump off the T-bars would swing when let go and catch the next tower.

In this photograph several hundred spectators are lined up on the left side and at finish area to get a good view of the racing action. The building on the right behind the scoreboard is where the timing of the race was done.

As part of the "Tall Timber Classic" theme for the Sugarloaf World Cup races, flags were attached to the top of poles cut from large Maine trees. These three Maine Arborists and Woodsmen climbed the tall poles each morning and evening to put up and take down the three flags for the event.
The American flag was on the center pole and was affixed by Bernard "Barnie" Thompson of Brewer Maine. As of 2012, Barnie, though in his eighties, still skis at Sugarloaf. The other pole climbers were Daniel Harkins from Greene, Maine and Wesley McKagne from Westbrook, Maine. The three flags hoisted were the American, Maine and FIS flags. The FIS, Federation International du Ski, is the governing body of the World Cup ski races.
The poles were located in front of the Sugarloaf Base Lodge. After the event the poles were left in place for many years to serve as bearers for the American, Maine and Canadian flags.

Many volunteers who worked at stations on the hills would ride a Thiokol Spryte snowcat to get to their posts. In the background a group of hardy spectators who climbed on scaffolding to watch the races can be barely be seen behind the snowcat.
Well over 100 volunteers were needed to ensure a successful event. A large number of the volunteeers were members of the Farmington State College Ski and Outing Club. The college was located just 36 miles south of Sugarloaf and many of the students were avid skiers.

This image shows the lower third of the 1971 World Cup Giant Slalom course at Sugarloaf. The finish line is in the lower right.
The knoll near the top of this photograph was call Kangaroo Hill because both racers and recreational skiers alike could find themselves with air under their skis if they were not paying attention.
It is also of note that the marker flags, denoting the course, are on bamboo poles in this photograph. While that was common at the time they were soon superseded by plastic poles, which have hinges in them to help prevent breakage and improve safety.

Team U.S. downhill skier number 21 is shown at the finish line in the 1971 World Cup races at Sugarloaf in Carabassett.
Downhill skiers wore tight-fitting suits so they would not have any extra wind resistance. Races were often won by 100ths of seconds and every little bit helped. The skier in this photograph cut up his race bib and sewed the numbers onto his downhill suit. The bibs were loose fitting and flapped around causing drag on the racer.
The following year the governing body of the World Cup, FIS, banned the practice of altering the bibs. The sponsors that had paid money to have their names or logos on the bibs and did not like losing the exposure. Later, tighter fitting stretch bibs were designed to solve the wind resistance problem.
Bob Beattie, ABC commentator, is seen to the right behind racer number 21.
