What are People Saying About Our Club?
Mark grew up coming to Sugarloaf as a young boy. His parents had a camp on Eustis Ridge and since then he knew he wanted to raise our family in the Valley to expose them of the beauty Sugarloaf offers. We’ve never looked back!
To our family and many others, The Sugarloaf Ski club has provided both opportunity and fun! Opportunity as they’ve assisted many local athletes with scholarship funds that help defray costs of travel, lodging at competitions and race fees. They also help local schools by providing funds and volunteers for their Ski and skate programs. Many of our volunteers spend countless hours on the hill during local competitions whether it be timing, starting, or standing behind a grill to feed the racers. There’s nothing better than seeing the smiles on our young athletes as they come off the hill.
The Ski club and its members are committed to this community and it shows! They provide many enjoyable and social opportunities. Some of the most memorable are, The Beer tasting, Locals races, Octoberfest, and The Annual Snowball. We have connected with other families during these events and made lifelong friendships. ~ Venise and Mark Fournier
I am real happy that a prime function of the club is to get local kids skiing and riding that might otherwise never do it. ~ Rick Ray
"We often hear 'it takes a village'. The Ski Club is that village, providing opportunities at many levels for kids to get on skiis and enjoy the outdoors. Three generations of our family have grown up at Sugarloaf with the Ski Club always there, providing racing venues, as well as camaraderie and great fun!" ~ Donn and Linda Gifford
