#22: Mike Leach: Exploring the Legendary History of Ski Racing at Stowe

This week we are happy to bring Mike Leach to the studio who is the historian for the Mount Mansfield Ski Club (MMSC), one of the oldest ski racing organizations in the United States. In his role, Leach has contributed significantly to documenting and preserving the rich history of skiing in the Stowe, Vermont area.​ Mike has provided insights into the origins of a variety of local ski events in Stowe. His research also indicates that the first Sugar Slalom was held on April 30, 1939, as a special event to mark the season's end, drawing nearly 100 entrants. Leach's extensive knowledge and dedication have been invaluable in preserving the history and legacy of the Mount Mansfield Ski Club and the broader skiing community in Stowe.
