Nestled at the base of Saddleback Mountain in Maine’s western mountains, the RANGELEY LAKES TRAILS CENTER has something for everyone. In the winter months, with more than 200 inches of annual snowfall, skiers, snowshoers, and fat tire bikers savor our meticulously groomed trails. We are building a worldclass, multi-use trail system, check out our web page and find out how you can help. See you on the trails! www rangeleylakestrailscenter org

THE RANGELEY INN is located in the center of Rangeley, just a short drive to Saddleback Mountain for alpine skiing or to the Rangeley Lakes Trails Center for Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, and fat-tire biking. The hotel has direct access to snowmobile trails and parking for trailers.

Renovated accommodations are available in the historic inn or at the Haley Pond Lodge on the waterfront. All rooms feature a private bathroom, satellite TV, WiFi, and a coffee maker. Choose from rooms with one king bed or two queen beds, or suites with one or two bedrooms. Some rooms offer a minifridge and microwave.

Sit down to a relaxed breakfast in the elegant historic dining room or warm up by the fire in the rustic tavern. Take a stroll down Main Street to a number of local shops, galleries, and eateries. If you’re packing for an excursion, Rangeley’s shops feature a variety of items to suit your needs.

Thanks to its perfect location at the gateway to the best alpine skiing, snowboarding, and Nordic skiing in Maine, it’s not surprising the University of Maine at Farmington (UMF) boasts several successful intercollegiate Snow Sports programs: Alpine Skiing (Giant Slalom and Slalom), Freeskiing (Rail, Slopestyle, Skiercross), Nordic Skiing, and Snowboarding (Rail, Slopestyle, Snowboardcross). During the summer and fall months, UMF Snow Sports team members were putting in their dry-land training and are now out on the snow across the Northeast doing what they love.

Over the past several years, the University of Maine at Farmington varsity Snowsports programs have quietly become a national powerhouse. The teams are based at both Sugarloaf and at Farmington’s Titcomb Mountain.

For his efforts, Andrew Willihan, UMF Director of Snowsports and head men's and women's Alpine coach, was named the 2022 U.S. Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association (USCSA) National Coach of the Year. He also received the Eastern Region Coach of the Year award in 2018.
