I haven't skied Saddleback, I was going to after one of our AZ summits but never made it over. I've heard it is excellent and glad to hear it's opening.

Yep, back in full force. Great experience.
Have four nights and three days of skiing booked late February. Got a really nice four bedroom house on the lake walking distance to town for $330 a night all in, which I thought was a great deal. Can't wait

Damn we may need to bump the rent up on our house in Errol. 4 bedroom on the lake and we do like $250/night. But it's Errol not Rangeley ha.
Before taxes and fees it was $275/night.
I paid the same last winter for a two bedroom apartment in downtown Stowe.
Between the cheap house, the $135 three day ticket special last summer and excitement for SB coming back it was a pretty easy decision to go outside of Epic for school vacation week

For 500 a night, should be nice and right on the mtn.

the owners of that house have probably been longing for the day they can charge $500 a night for it again
yay for saddleback. cant wait to make a trip up that way.

We chose in town vs on mountain as my wife doesn't ski and my two year old daughter doesn't yet. So, I wanted something in Rangeley where they could walk to town. Having nice lake views is a bonus.
This is the rental if folks are looking for a place to rent up there at some point.

I am sure it will be a nice trip. At this point going anywhere is a change.

Aaaand, they’re 99% open now.
Got a ski in/out place for the 2nd week of March. Really psyched.

Skied here for the first time since the reopen on Thursday and Friday. Great time. Groomers a bit wind blown but the natural snow trails were great. Very small crowd both days. probably less than 100 skiers in total on Thurs. Friday a bit more. Great glades and variety of expert terrain. They don't seem to have quite the base that Vermont does. But snow quality was very dry.
Day tix were about $65. The new HSQ is a huge upgrade.

we skied there the last year they were open, can't wait to get back. makes a great Maine ski trip SB and the Loaf
Arrived to Rangeley last night for what we were hoping was three days of skiing. Looks like we need to find an alternative for Thursday.

I guess Saddleback really needs to get the short double and T Bar back running. Seems pretty unreasonable that maintenance needs on their HSQ results in shutting the whole mountain down; especially during a school vacation week.
Beautiful views from the pad we rented though.
