Many of Adam Craig’s formative athletic moments were spent at Sugarloaf Mountain. But while skiing may have introduced the Exeter native to the trails on Maine’s second-tallest peak, his experiences as a teenage mountain biker — testing himself at the resort’s Widowmaker Challenge races during the mid-1990s — eventually propelled him to Olympic heights. More than two decades later, Craig’s memories of those early experiences will serve as a foundation of sorts for his new job as Sugarloaf’s mountain bike race and event sales manager. He’ll take a hands-on approach in creating enduro and downhill race courses at Sugarloaf. He’ll help guide the development of the resort’s forthcoming lift-accessed mountain bike park.
