Listen. Can you hear it yet? That's the quiet natural power of Saddleback Mountain in Rangeley, Maine. We're talking big.

More than 8000 acres of high alpine peaks and forest big. Top lift elevation of over 4000 ft. And 2000 vertical feet of skiing. Big.

Majestic snow-frosted evergreens. Pristine lakes and streams. This is the wild, unspoiled Maine. A place fly-fishermen around the world have called their 'secret spot'.

It's a secret no longer. Saddleback Mountain is Maine's upcoming destination resort. A sleeping giant that's growing under the nurturing care of new ownership -- an environmentally-focused family vigilant about preserving the area's unique rustic natural beauty while carefully crafting a 4-season resort and a first class ski mountain.

Many improvements have already been made including a 44% increase in ski terrain and a new lift and stunning base lodge — with 9 more lifts and 30 trails to come.

Saddleback Is Different. An honest alternative to today's large resorts. A magnificent mountain with genuine values and gentle soul.

Saddleback is one of New England's finest family ski resorts - offering season-long events for kids and families and a nurturing on-site day care. The South Branch Quad Chairlift and its network of gentle terrain is separate from the other trails.

Although family-focused, Saddleback provides a high elevation alpine experience. 4120 ft. elevation. 2000 ft. vertical drop. 60 diverse trails and glades of classic New England terrain. Gentle slopes to rugged double black diamonds. terrain park and half pipe, too.

Our new base lodge is an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind post & beam structure with sun deck, huge fieldstone fireplace and panoramic vistas of the mountains above - and views of Saddleback Lake below. The lodge's Swig 'n Smelt Pub is a great apres-ski spot to kick back or kick it up, featuring live entertainment Saturdays.

And because Saddleback is relatively undiscovered, it's still amazingly affordable - with virtually unheard of $40 lift tickets, $25 specials and other value-packed offers. Saddleback puts a big-mountain ski experience wthin the means of every skier and rider.
