"The Little School that Skis Big"
The phrase above has been used to describe our Nordic ski team who benefited for many years from practicing at Pineland Farms, one of the best cross-country ski venues in Maine. Coached by John Tarling, a top masters skier in the Maine Nordic community and twice named as the Portland Press Herald's Coach of the Year and Assistant Coach Sam Kapala, our girls’ team has won the Class C State Championships for seven years running and the boys team for five!
