SUPER exclusive -> without lifts running or a hotel to bring in outsiders, you'll have the whole mountain to yourself:

(Hoping for the best for Saddleback and its locals! But definitely not this crap)

Opinions differ, skied Prospect from ‘78- ‘99, Nordic, 3pin, downhill, ski jump, snowboard, played broomball under the lights, I think my first kiss was at Prospects base lodge. Lots of good times with Koch, The Gov, Bucky, and Burger at Prospect. Skied Bromley, Stratton, Mt Snow, Brodie, Jiminy, Dutch hill all better in my opinion. Woodford State Park has more character than Haystack.

True, but when you're 8, any lift and hill will do. We used to hike the snowmobile trails and build jumps in Maine when my parents wouldn't take us to Pleasant Mt. It was real back country on the rabbit trails we rode dirt bikes on. Ever run into the Anapoles at Prospect ? I went to Friends Academy with them and they had a house there for years. By 7th grade I wasn't getting up to grandma's in Bennington that much. Naples Maine, we had an old farmhouse for the weekends. That's how I found Saddleback, with my mom. Lost Valley, too. Sometimes even Sugarloaf.

Probably naught. The functional resort was bankrupts as well. Strip out the litftard infra-structure. Cover the place in Bike Trails. Rent e bikes to fat tourists, host massive events. Spend a little and make a little vs spend a ton and make a little. Maybe have a small lift or two functional on weekends, and groom and maintain a fraction of the place. I might move there.

NOW you're talkin' . No lifts just trails. no grooming. Sno Bikes and snowmobiles. Pretty sure there's trails all over up there. Close to Rangley Lake, right ?
if they can save mt abram, why not ?

Thanks for the link but we’ve heard it all before. I’d love to see the lifts spin there again but I’ll believe it when they start loading chairs. Call us Mainers a skeptical bunch. Until then it’s a nice skin up for laps in a good snow year like this. Props to the Berry’s for allowing access. He was my Geology professor in College.

Yesterday was supposed to be the signing of the intent to buy with an early November closing. Hope is to have a soft opening with only the t-bar running this Winter and then lift and much needed infrastructure work done next summer. Guessing they are looking at a volunteer operation this winter with super cheap prices. Likely outcome is that it will remain an uphill only mountain for another winter. Snowmobiles have not been welcome in the past.

I know nothing, but I’d be very skeptical of any opening this year. I hope it works out.

I'm really hoping this works out. I loved Saddleback on my lone visit and would love to go back. My brother just started a job at U of Maine, so I have more reason to be in the state in any case.

this whole situation has been strange right from the start. it is easier to sell an ongoing concern than shuttered business. the longer it sits idle the lower the value.
