Maine’s Saddleback back: Awakened after five-year slumber

Saddleback Mountain in Maine opens after 5 year hiatus
Maine’s Rangeley Lakes region is justifiably famous as the birthplace of modern-day fly fishing. If ever a lake had a great name, it’s most certainly Mooselookmeguntic, one of the six lakes and hundreds of smaller lakes and streams in the area. You can now add Saddleback Mountain, rising above the waters of Rangeley Lake back in again as the “Maine attraction” for skiers and snowboarders.
Saddleback Mountain, with trails named after famous fishing ties like “Grey Ghost,” has been a favorite ski area for families throughout New England and certainly metropolitan Boston since the 1960s. The mountain awoke Dec. 15 after being shut-down and out-of-action since the 2014-15 season.
