Saddleback, located in Maine's Rangeley Lakes Region, is the 2013 OnTheSnow Visitors' Choice Award winner for Best Family Resort in the Northeast. Saddleback features the most extensive beginner terrain in the northeast, with four miles of gentle sloping trails that are found below the base lodge and away from the rest of the mountain. Their ski and snowboard school boasts the lowest student to instructor ratio in North America. In addition to their beginner services, Saddleback has a top notch and unique base lodge, affordable skiing and riding and all of Saddleback's mountain lodging has ski-in/ski-out access.
SKIING FOR THE KIDS: Saddleback’s Ski and Ride School is a great value thanks to their fantastic terrain, focus on personal attention for each student, low student to teacher ratio and their exceptional staff. For kids ready to shred the entire mountain, Saddleback is a great environment to do so. Their terrain is naturally segmented by degree of difficulty, making it easy for kids to make decisions based on their skill level.
