Press Release I got in my email:
RANGELEY, ME --- Saddleback Ski Resort in Rangeley, Maine, will offer free skiing Sunday, April 15, the last day of the season. It will do so as a "Thank you" for the very positive response it has experienced to the many recent improvements made at the mountain.
In the past three years, Saddleback has increased ski terrain 44%, added a quad chairlift and trails to create a beginner/family area, upgraded and lengthened the Rangeley chair, and increased snowmaking up to 85% coverage. A new post and beam base lodge houses expanded skier/rider services.
Tom McAllister, General Manager, reports , "As a result of these improvements, skier days are up 27% this season. We are seeing a significant rise in first time visitors."
Saddleback received 45 inches of new snow this month and over 210 inches of snow this season. Fifty-nine trails and all lifts are open.
A public hearing on the resort's 10-Year Plan is scheduled for April 11 at the Rangeley Inn in Rangeley, Maine. The LURC Commission will meet at 2pm. Public comments will be at 3:30pm and 6pm. The plan proposes 9 new lifts, trails, snowmaking, day facilities, and a four-season resort village.
Located in Rangeley in the Western Maine Mountains, Saddleback is 4120 ft. mountain with 60 trails, 5 lifts and a 2000 ft. vertical drop. For further information: www.SaddlebackMaine.com.
