John Christie

John Christie started skiing at the Camden Snowbowl before he started school and has been spending his free time on skis ever since. At Bowdoin College, he entered competitions, and in 1958 he won the State Intercollegiate Downhill Champsionship. After graduation in 1959, John spent the next two years on fellowship at the University of Stockholm. After his return to the U.S. Christie got a job at Sugarloaf as the General Manager. He also served as the president of the Maine Ski Council, the Sugarloaf Ski Club, and the Ski Maine Association. After a brief break from the sport, John returned in 1993, when his twin sons learned to ski at the Camden Snowbowl. For his lifetime devotion to skiing, John Christie has earned a place in the Maine Ski Hall of Fame.
