Competition Center Progress - Photos taken 8/8/2016
A noticeable amount of progress is being made day after day on the new Competition Center. The facade is coming together in remarkable fashion, and framing has begun on the interior. In the last week, stone masons have begun to work their way around the bottom of the building, while windows are starting to get installed.
With a steep racing heritage, Sugarloaf has been known as a proving ground for aspiring US Team athletes since the 1970s. Through a partnership with Carrabassett Valley Academy and the Sugarloaf Ski Club, a new state-of-the-art Competition Center is currently being built to help breed the next generation of champions.When athletes, coaches, and race crews return to the slopes this winter, they’ll find a new home base at the new Competition Center. Construction of the facility began on May 1, and is on schedule to be completed by November 15, 2016, allowing us to have the new building up and running well in advance of the U.S. Alpine Championships, which return in March 2016.
At a cost of $2.1 million, the new competition center will be about more than just competition; it will provide a hub for social activity and networking, as well as a warm and welcoming venue for athletes of all ages.
