SAM Magazine-Carrabassett Valley, Me., July 11, 2007-Sugarloaf will host the 2008 U.S. Alpine Championships, the second time in three years it will host the championships. The resort also hosted the U.S. Alpine Championships in 2006.

"Sugarloaf has been a great host for us and has a strong history of outstanding races," U.S. Alpine Director Jesse Hunt said. "Sugarloaf gives us a great welcome, there's so much enthusiasm-from the mountain and the community-and the venues are challenging, so it's a great package. We, meaning the staff as well as the athletes, look forward to going back there for more exciting races and fun times with great crowds, who appreciate the racing."
