As the largest independently owned mountain in the East, Saddleback has grown its reputation for exceptional snow, some of the best terrain, and friendly, laid-back culture.
Since re-opening in 2020, Saddleback has invested more than $30 million dollars in mountain improvements, including new lifts and groomers, snowmaking infrastructure, a renovated base lodge, and a new Mid Mountain Lodge.
THE YOUNGEST LIFT FLEET IN THE EAST SKI & SNOWBOARD LESSONS
Upon re-opening in 2020, Saddleback unveiled a new highspeed Doppelmayr Rangeley Express Quad that whisks skiers and riders up the mountain in just under five minutes at full speed. In preparation for this season, work is underway on the construction and installation of a new quad that will serve the Wheeler Slope. Saddleback has also added a new Doppelmayr T-bar surface lift, moving carpet, and a rope tow. Saddleback is expanding the ski area's snowmaking fleet to make more snow in a shorter window of time with the latest industry leading snow making equipment that now covers more than 85% of trails.
