A Wayne couple who grew up skiing at Saddleback Mountain donated $1.5 million Tuesday toward new workforce housing, a 100-bed ski-in, ski-out and bike-in, bike-out complex. The Saddleback House project has $1 million left to raise in donations and $2 million to secure from other sources before breaking ground, which officials hope will happen in late spring. “We see this as a moment of transformation for Saddleback and we’re really excited about what Arctaris is doing there,” said Fritz Onion, who made the donation with his wife, Susan. “We think it could be transformative for Rangeley. We grew up in Farmington, not far away, and it’s a place that means a lot to us.”
