What a day! Clear skies and full sunshine have been blessing the beautifully manicured corduroy and the ever-challenging natural terrain of Saddleback since the lifts began to spin this morning. Couldn’t have asked for a better day to have the Gambler Uphill Challenge underway. The 80’s Dance Party was cinematic; if you were out there rocking with us, we appreciate the moving and grooving!
Unknown Legend will be playing live tunes in the Pub this afternoon from 3PM to 6PM; catch some tunes then cruise downstairs to place your final bids on the silent auction. Browsing and bidding on the silent auction inside the Lodge will be wrapping up at 5PM, before we move into the Pub for the live auction and patrol party at 6PM.
Make sure you’re ready to go for tomorrow’s Cardboard Box Race; grab the nearest refrigerator box and tap into your creative side to build the best on-theme, snow-sliding vessel. This year’s theme is, “Your Favorite Trail at Saddleback.” The Cardboard Box Race starts at 12PM on Sunday, March 29, and is free to all. Signed waivers and helmets are required to participate.
Don’t forget; Springtime Hours start on Monday, March 30. Weekdays at Saddleback will have the lifts spinning from 10AM to 5PM and lifts will start on weekends at 9:30AM!

We’ve made it to the weekend… let’s go skiing! Another night for the Operations Crew to work their magic and get these gorgeous trails in tip-top shape. Loose Granular and variable surfaces out there today, we’ll be starting on groomed terrain only and will leave it up to the fine folks of the Saddleback Ski Patrol to make the call on terrain expansion for the day. We’ll be working with temperatures in the low 20s today with partial sun and a mellow breeze. The Kennebago, Rangeley, South Branch, and Sandy Quads get the party started this morning at 8:30AM then the Mollychunkamunk Carpet starts rolling at 9AM.
With the mixed temperatures we’ve had leading up to this weekend, it is important to remember to ski in control and with caution on the trails today. Variable surface conditions and natural hazards do exist. Please respect posted signage and closed terrain. There is no beginner terrain off the Rangeley Quad as we start our Saturday.
The uptick in uphill travel you may see today is The Gambler Uphill Challenge in full swing. Cheer on any and all competitors you see trudging towards the top of the mountain throughout your day. The challenge starts at 9AM and proceeds go to benefit our lovely Saddleback Ski Patrol. Browse and bid on available items in the silent auction today between 12PM and 5PM before heading into The Pub for the live auction and party to benefit Patrol, beginning at 6PM.
65 Years of Style continues today with our third installment of limited-edition decade-themed stickers. Today we reminisce on Saddleback the 1980s! As if you wouldn’t stop by for the 80s dance party and to get your limited-edition 80s Saddleback sticker outside the Base Lodge at 2PM.
Looking forward; spring hours kick in next week at Saddleback, which means a little extra sleep before getting after it. Starting March 30, Monday through Friday lifts will spin 10AM to 5PM, and weekends from 9:30AM to 4:30PM. Longer days, softer turns, no reason not to get a few more laps in.
