Sugarloaf in Carrabassett Valley is one of Maine’s favorite mountains. The first trail was cut in 1950 by the Sugarloaf Mountain Ski Club and a group of locals known as “The Bigelow Boys.” Since then, Sugarloaf has become a close-knit community of skiers, snowboarders and outdoor enthusiasts. Today we speak with Sugarloafer and schooner captain Kip Files, and Jamie Goduti of the Sugarloaf ski patrol, both of whom are featured in Maine Magazine’s December issue. We know you’ll enjoy hearing more about the Sugarloaf family, and perhaps be inspired to take a trip up there yourself!
