A $1 million grant from the Bill and Joan Alfond Foundation will cover half the cost of a new Carrabassett Valley Academy ski competition center at Sugarloaf.
Construction of the $2 million facility in Carrabassett Valley is set to begin in May 2016 and be completed by November 2016. The 11,000-square-foot competition center will be at the same location as the current facility but will be expanded. It will include day lodge, tuning and waxing facilities, locker rooms, a trainers’ room, meeting space and offices, Carrabassett Valley Academy said in a news release Monday.
“Competition has been at the heart of our organizations from the very beginning and this new facility will allow us to expand this tradition, bolstering Sugarloaf’s standing as a world-class competition venue, providing a new home for the Sugarloaf Ski Club and offering a warm and welcoming hub for the next generation of athletes and their families,” Earle Morse, chairman of the ski academy’s board of trustees, said in the release.
The center will be completed in advance of the U.S. Alpine Championships, which return to Sugarloaf in March 2017. Carrabassett Valley Academy and the Sugarloaf Ski Club are working to raise an additional $850,000 that’s needed to complete the project.
The new center will be named for Bill and Joan Alfond.
“Not only will the new facility continue to inspire Maine youth to raise their aspirations through athletics, but it will also be an important economic driver for the region,” Bill Alfond, president of the foundation, said in the release.
