Tubing at Black Mountain Hit The Edge tubing park at Black Mountain. Snow tubing offers fun and adventure for all ages and abilities. There’s no need for special equipment... just warm clothes and a little courage, and anyone can enjoy the thrill of sliding down one of Black Mountain’s groomed tubing runs. Your anticipation begins as the 300-foot handle tow transports you and your tube up the hill to your choice of chutes. With a small shove, you are off, heading down one of four different runs, guaranteed to provide hours of heart-pounding excitement. Your tube is racing and spinning as you head down over the hill. Your friends and family are already on their way up for another turn. You feel like you are floating and flying at the same time. And oh, that shrieking, giggly scream?

River Valley Chiropractic & Acupuncture We offer an alternative approach to better health for you and your family.

If it’s not your family or friends, you might want to check, it very well could be you. No age requirement, however all riders must be able to “clear the chute” after their run. All riders must sign a waiver. Save time, download the waiver at www. skiblackmountain.org Hours of operation for the Edge Tubing Park: Weekends and holidays: 12-4 p.m. and 6-9 p.m. Friday nights starting in February: 6-9 p.m.

Alpine Skiing Black Mountain of Maine may appear to be small, but once you compare it to other ski areas you’ll see that the only thing small about it is the amount you’ll pay to ski here! Our Alpine skiing and snowboarding area has a 1,150-foot vertical drop, lit top-to-bottom for night skiing. The combined Upper and Lower Androscoggin trails make up a fabulous, “solid blue” intermediate run, almost a mile long! There are currently 25 trails, including a glade, with over 90% snowmaking coverage. These trails are served by a novice double chair and an advanced triple lift. The Black Mountain of Maine Terrain Park features a 300-foot half pipe with 12-foot walls and a variety of other “hits.” The novice area’s “green” trails and the “Moose Run” beginner area (open on weekends,

For as long as Black Mountain has existed, our area has had very talented skiers who have progressed from learning to ski to winning alpine races. Many have carried the sport into college racing and have made life long friendships in the sport. The program will begin January 2 and run for 8 weeks every Sunday morning. The day will begin at 9 a.m. sharp. Athletes will be expected to be booted up and out of the lodge for stretches and loosening exercises. This will then be followed by several free ski runs as a group. Emphasis will be on developing a proper race carving turn and a strong platform to build on. Throughout the program, gate training will be in Giant Slalom and Slalom. Groups will meet in the lodge late morning to go over the day’s training with feedback to each athlete. After lunch, those entered in the Maine Challenge Race will be coached from start to finish. Coaches will be available both top and bottom to give the athlete feedback on their runs. We are very excited about the coaching staff for this season. Our goal is to have good coaches with small coach to racer ratios. The fee for the program will be kept affordable; the 8 week program is $150 with a season pass. For those needing a ticket, the price will be $200 which will include coaching and an all-day lift ticket.

Cost of this mini camp is $30 for season pass holders and $50 for non-pass holders. Lift ticket will be additional.

Maine Winter Sports Center Since 1999 the Maine Winter Sports Center staff and volunteers have worked around the state to re-establish skiing as a lifestyle in Maine. At the heart of this effort is the goal of creating a new economic and cultural model for Maineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural communities one that keeps young families together and attracts businesses looking for a high quality of life for their employees. In this model community-run non-profit ski areas provide an epicenter for programs for all ages and serve as economic engines for these communities. Maine has a rich history of skiing dating back to 1870, when 21 families were recruited from Stockholm, Sweden to help settle northern Maine. The climate and topography were very similar and Governor Joshua Chamberlain thought the hard working Swedish temperament was just what was called for to settle the vast virgin forests of Aroostook County. They cut roads, built villages and made new lives for themselves. They also brought skiing with them to their new home as an inseparable part of their lifestyle. During the winter they skied for transportation and hunting - and also for recreation. Soon after

their arrival, winter carnivals began to develop with sprinting races, jumping competitions and eventually, marathon races that covered 180 miles in four days. These were truly hearty people who loved the winter. Skiing spread throughout the state and into the mountains of western Maine to towns like Rumford, Livermore Falls and Farmington. Olympians like Chummy Broomhall, Jim Miller, Jack Lufkin, Leslie Bancroft, Dan Simoneau, Marcus Nash, Julie Parisien and Kirsten Clark to name a few, are the products of that heritage. In the past 30 years the economic foundations of these communities have come under intense pressure. Shoe production and woolen mills have virtually disappeared from western Maine towns and the paper mills have fallen on hard times as well. The potato and lumbering industries of n o r t h e r n M a i n e h av e a l s o suffered. The result has been high unemployment rates, an exodus of the young population and a degradation of the quality of life in Maineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural communities. In these dif f icult economic times the communities have had lit tle m oney to inves t

in the infrastructure of their co m m u n i t i e s . Sp e n d i n g o n skiing infrastructure has been hit especially hard, creating a vicious cycle of degraded skiing e x p e r ie n ce an d diminish e d revenues at the community areas. The result is an alarming rate of ski area closures over the last 20 years and a loss of resources critical to sustaining a skiing culture in Maine. Over that same period, Mainers - in fact, people all across the US, have become less active in the outdoors, choosing instead to spend their leisure time watching TV, surfing the net and pursuing other sedentary activities. Skiing has been replaced by snowmobiling as the dominant outdoor winter pastime in Maine. With Maine at the top nationally in the incidence of childhood smoking, obesity, type II diabetes and asthma, our concern is not only for the future of skiing in Maine, but the health of our children as well. In fact, if the health trends in our state are not addressed, this looming health crisis will bring our economy to its knees within this generation. Increased health care costs, lower productivity, higher mortality rates and higher insurance costs will overwhelm an already stressed taxpayer base beyond its limits.

With this as the backdrop, a year was taken to develop a comprehensive and integrated community-based economic and cultural development model for the rural communities of Maine. We did a thorough review of programs from around the world and found some common threads running through the programs that had success and missing where there

was failure. For more information, visit www. mainewsc.org.

Tin Mountain Round Up The Tin Mountain Round Up is an annual charitable canned food drive that has become a standard on many Maine ski area event calendars. Several area resorts kick off the season with the Round Up on their opening weekend, while others feature the event during the ski season. In the past, these Round Ups have collected an estimated 5,000 cans of food. A target goal has been set at 10,000 cans for the 2010-11 Maine ski season. Black Mountain of Maine will host its annual Tin Mountain Round Up on December 24. Individuals bringing in three cans of food can ski or snowboard for just $15 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. as the mountain will be closing early for the holiday. All canned food from this event will be donated to local food pantries.
