5 out of 5 stars The Story of Sugarloaf   May 15, 2008
This book is beautifully done! Our family grew up skiing on Sugarloaf Mountain in the beautiful Carrabasset Valley, Maine. This book, with breath taking photos, takes us back to the early days of development to today's big busy ski slope. My dad was one of the first skiiers who worked on developing this wonderful resort. It matters not wether or not you ski, this book is a great addition to one's library!

5 out of 5 stars A must have for all Sugarloafers   January 25, 2008

I got this book as a gift. The history of this fantastic mountain unfolds from the beginning and keeps the reader engaged throughout the book. The price is worth the photos alone. J. Christie not only captures the essence of Maine, but also the mystique of this truly unique place.


5 out of 5 stars part of my family's history   January 20, 2008
I've been a sugarloafer since 1964, the year I was born. Though out my life. I have heard the stories of Amos Winter,transporting my Mom and Sisters(filliettaz family) up the access road in old army ambulance. Seasons tickets for a family $60.
Skiing has always been part of my life, now with this book were able to connect both generations of skiers. thank you MR. Christie

" Outstanding ". I grew up at Sugarloaf and my Dad knew all the players in the book, including the writer. I remembered some of the best times of my life when reading this. I gave a copy to my Dad and he wept. He is 92 and wishes he could still ski. It brought back great memories for Dad and my Mother.
