Eight individuals will be inducted into the Maine Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame at the 19th Annual Maine Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame banquet scheduled for October 16th at Sugarloaf.
The Maine Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame was established as a division of the Maine Ski and
Snowboard Museum (formerly known as the Ski Museum of Maine) to recognize individuals who bring distinction to Maine skiing and snowboarding through competition, either as athletes or coaches.
The Hall also honors those who pioneered the sport in Maine, ski makers, ski area builders, instructors, volunteers and others who have made a significant contribution to the sports. This incoming class will bring the number of those honored to 160, whose biographies can be found on the Museum’s website: www.maineskiandsnowboardmuseum.org.

University of Maine at Farmington athletes received an early Christmas gift, albeit one they can’t have until after the new year.
And they still aren’t sure exactly what it will look like.
However, they still get to put the “athlete” in student-athlete, thanks to a plan announced Wednesday by the university to have winter sports teams return to participation on Jan. 11.
“The wellbeing of our student-athletes, staff, our campus, and the community at large is our number one priority, and all decisions and plans are made with that in mind,” UMF President Edward Serna said in a news release Wednesday. “Our athletics department has worked incredibly hard this fall to follow health and safety protocol so that teams could practice and train with the ultimate goal of providing a quality educational and developmental experience.”
