Mountain Report

Afternoon Update: Monday December 15, 2025. 1:00 PM

Obviously somebody flipped the switch that starts winter early this year, and that’s a good thing for our snow making and grooming operations. Trails today were as good as you could ask for, and the low temps gave everyone a good early season test to make sure their layering skills are still intact! 

Tomorrow is looking to be sunny and significantly warmer, and with these conditions and the amount of open terrain we have this early in the season (still 25+ open trails), you need to make plans now to get on up to Saddleback. It’s a no brainer. I mean seriously, have you EVER regretted making the decision to head on up to the mountains?

Good morning. Today we will once again have an offer that’s hard to refuse: pristine winter weather and amazing trail conditions, along with another inch of fresh snow. It is looking to be an incredible day to be outside, with spots of sunshine and temps topping out in the low double digits. The South Branch, Rangeley and Kennebago quads will start loading passengers at 9:00 sharp, and even though it’s not technically winter yet, when you slide off the lifts at the top, more than 25 open trails will give you plenty of soft packed powder options for the top to bottom Saddleback experience: a full 2000 feet of vertical drop.

For all you Saddlebackers who can’t make it today because it’s Monday and you actually have a job, well, that’s kind of a bummer. And as we all know, when you’re at work, you should be working. But let’s be honest, there is no doubt that visions of groomed corduroy are still dancing through your head. Snap out of it!

But hey, since you’re already daydreaming, you might as well make plans to get up here ASAP and enjoy everything Maine’s Favorite Mountain has to offer. Text your friends, pick a day, and make it happen, that’s one thing we guarantee you’ll never regret!

C’mon up and feel the sun on your face and the powder under your skis.
