Saddleback Maine
With the highest base elevation of any ski area in New England,
Saddleback
offers classic New England skiing with old fashioned flair and stunning
views of the Rangeley Lakes region. Under new ownership, skiers will find
the same friendly feel - with a beautiful post and beam base lodge, improved
lifts and new terrain. Intermediate skiers love cruisers like Royal Coachman
off the Rangeley double chair. The upper mountain Kennebago T-bar, which is
a challenge in itself, serves some very challenging terrain like Warden's
Worry and Nightmare Glades. A long climb/traverse out to Mule Skinner offers
a virtual out of bounds experience. The Swig-n-Smelt Lounge has lively local
après-ski.
