MAINE SKI AND SNOWBOARD MUSEUM

The Maine Ski and Snowboard Museum was founded in 1995 by Donald Fletcher, Greg Foster, and Donald Hayes, all members of the Sugarloaf Mountain Ski Club. During its first decade, this group formed a nonprofit [501 (c)(3)] corporation and obtained a grant to store and accession an initial collection of documents and artifacts. New members joined during these first 10 years, and the nascent Museum published a newsletter. In 2011 the Museum established the Peter C. Friend Endowment, a milestone in its drive toward long-term financial stability... Maine is very rich in ski and snowboard history, yet many people do not realize it nor recognize the place this history holds within the American winter sports world. Because of this, many of those who have valued the special spirit our sport entails are concerned this history will be lost. It is this concern which motivated the founders of the Maine Ski and Snowboard Museum to organize and create our museum.
