Mt. Blue High School is known as a statewide powerhouse in both Alpine and Nordic disciplines. The women's team holds the state record for the most consecutive state championships in any sport. They train at Titcomb Mountain in Farmington. It is tradition after a championship that they have a police escorted parade to the middle of town. Then they conduct a Chinese Fire Drill running around the bus one time for each consecutive championship.
