RANGELEY (WGME) — Saddleback Mountain in Rangeley opened for the season on Saturday.

The mountain, which is Maine’s third largest ski resort, reopened in 2020 after a five-year closure.

The resort opened for skiing and riding at 10 a.m. Saturday morning.

“We are excited to welcome guests back to Saddleback for the start of our second winter season,” said Andy Shepard, general manager for Saddleback. “We look forward to providing families a safe outdoor venue to make some magical memories on the slopes,” he added. “Our goal is to continue to provide a top-to-bottom, quality snow experience our Saddleback community has come to expect.”

Beginners and guests looking to hone their ski skills can book lessons online through the Roger Page Ski & Ride School, which officially opens on December 11 for the 2021-22 Winter Season.
