Talk about timing. Powder arrived this week. We are in the middle of a 4-8 inch snow event. The snow conditions are fantastic. We will be running four lifts, the South Branch, Sandy, Cupsuptic, and Kennebago lifts which will provide access to all the trails on the mountain.

   The Rangeley is down for maintenance. During a routine daily inspection it was determined that a grip should be taken out of service.  After consultation with our lift maintenance staff and lift manufacturer, as a precautionary measure we are taking the lift out of service until we can complete a more detailed inspection and additional testing of all the grips on the Rangeley Chair.  Once that inspection is complete, the lift will return to service. Estimated completion time is 7-8 days.

   Rest assured we will be putting every effort into getting the Rangeley back online. For those of you who are not experienced with the Cupsuptic T-Bar, we will have staff on hand to assist you. The Kennebago Station Yurt will be open each day so you can head to the Steeps! and spend the day up there.

   All of us at Saddleback are committed to providing you with the best experience possible under the safest conditions.
