Saddleback is working with the Maine Appalachian Trail Club (MATC) to allow responsible summit access. It’s important to note the summit is a fragile alpine ecosystem, especially during the spring thaw (late March-May). The ground is extremely wet and typically muddy, making it especially susceptible to damage. If you choose the Appalachian Trail as your eclipse-viewing spot, avoid going off the Trail or beyond existing campsites to help protect the surrounding fragile soil and spring plants from being trampled. Choose a durable surface to stop and watch the eclipse: bare rock; bare, hardened soil; and crusty snow are all low-impact options. Keep in mind, the A.T. is not maintained for winter use and higher elevations will often still see winter conditions through April.

There will be extended lift operations on Monday, April 8, 2024. Lifts will spin from 9 a.m. to just before 6 p.m. that evening. Before eclipse totality, all lifts will be cleared and there will be a brief intermission in lift operations. This will be approximately 3:00-3:45 p.m. This means, that if you want to be up at the Kennebago Quad near the summit for the eclipse, you should plan to load the Rangeley Quad and ski over to the Kennebago Quad no later than 2:15 p.m.

We sure hope Mother Nature doesn’t pull that, but this event is rain or shine.
