PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • October 17, 2020
An early snowfall provided an early start to skiing at Saddleback Mountain near Rangeley, but the official opening is still about two months off. About a year ago, Arctaris Impact Fund of Boston announced a deal to buy the resort. Andy Shepard, chief executive officer and general manager of the resort, said some skiers went up the hill on their own and skied down Saturday. Workers are still installing a new lift that is expected to be ready for the official opening of the resort on Dec. 15, Shepard said. He said about 10 inches of snow fell at the lodge and a foot or more on the mountain.
