Saddleback Maine
Maine, United States
Saddleback Maine is a ski resort located in Sandy River Plantation, near Rangeley, Maine, on the northwestern slopes of Saddleback Mountain. Saddleback Mountain was sold to the Arctaris Impact Fund and reopened on December 15, 2020, after 5 years of being closed. All the trails at Saddleback are named after famous fishing flies created in Rangeley by anglers Carrie Stevens, Bud Wilcox, and Dick Frost. Some of these fly names include Supervisor, Peachy's Peril, Royal Tiger, and America. All of the chairlifts at Saddleback are named after popular fly fishing rivers, such as the Rangeley River, South Branch (of the Dead River), and the Magalloway River. It was awarded the “Best in Maine” ski resort for 2022, 2023 and 2024 by Down East Magazine. Updates since the Arctaris Impact Fund purchase include RFID scanners at the new Rangeley quad lift, a new mid-mountain lodge, EV charging stations, A-Frame condominiums, repaved mountain road, high-speed residential internet, on-mountain employee housing, and mountain biking trails. Future plans include the addition of a solar farm.
