Saddleback, Maine: Bigger than You Think. Different from the Rest. Highest base elevation of any New England ski area.

There is a mystique to Saddleback that is timeless and awe inspiring. It imprints vividly on any visitor.

Economically it is critical to the town of Rangeley, Franklin County, the state of Maine, and New England skiing as a whole.

As the pending sale of Saddleback has moved through weeks and months and now past a year since the July 2015 announcement, it is easy to get frustrated with the progress.

We all depend on Saddleback in different ways. Some of us depend on Saddleback to put food on the table and pay the bills. Some of us depend on Saddleback to satisfy our outdoor recreational pursuits. Some of us depend on Saddleback just to get away from it all and be at peace with ourselves and our families.

For most all of us… Saddleback is home.

“The mountains are calling and I must go”- John Muir
