Where the wild things are.
Sunday, February 8th, 2009Toboggan riders are a pretty wild bunch. So are the spectators. It was a fantastic day for spectators — warm, 40ish, and sunny. Not so much for the riders, it seems that colder means faster.

Sliding down the slippery slope.
Monday, February 2nd, 2009It was a wild and crazy time at last year’s U.S. National Toboggan Championships in Camden. Seems like everyone had a great time!
So, this weekend, get ready to see the likes of last years winners — Fast Ash Lugers, Cracker My Ash and the Wingnuts Four, on the slippery slopes of the Camden Snow Bowl. You’ll find the schedule on their web site.
Snow, snow, everywhere!
Sunday, January 18th, 2009Got this screen grab from the Camden Snow Bowl –
Looks like fun at the Camden Snow Bowl. Check out the website for current conditions. And while you’re there be sure to check out the U.S. National Toboggan Championships, February 6-8. Don’t forget to get your registration form if you want to participate. The deadline is January 23!
And be sure to put it on your calendar for lottsa winter fun. It’s kind of Maine’s version of Mardi Gras. Well, almost. But in the middle of winter we all need to get a little crazy.
Happy New Year!
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008Have a ball in the snow.
Sunday, February 10th, 2008The U.S. National Toboggan Championships were held this weekend in Camden, Maine at the Snow Bowl. Was it a great excuse to have a wild party or a celebration of a serious competition? No matter, it was proof positive that that humor and great times are thriving in the frozen north.
