RANGELEY, ME — Although April 15th was the official end of the 2011-2012 Saddleback ski season, the mountain reopened its main lift Saturday, April 21st so staff could ski and ride as part of its annual end of season employee party. The skiing and riding was top to bottom off the Rangeley Chairlift.
Recognized for their service to Saddleback were Bill Jones, Hack Spiller and
Neil Stewart, all of Rangeley, who announced their retirement.
“These three men have over 100 years of service to Saddleback. Generations of Saddleback skiers have been greeted at the lifts each day by these men,” said Chris Farmer, general manager.
Those wanting to lock in low prices on next year’s Saddleback season passes have until April 30th to save up to $175. The passes can be purchased online at www.saddlebackmaine.com.
