Friday Fire And Marshmallow Roast:

Kids Bike Group Trip:

Saddleback’s bike trails are located in the South Branch area of the lower mountain. These gradually sloped trails include sections great for beginner riders. This weekly kid’s program will work on the transition from pavement riding to gravel and downhill biking. This program will run from June 2nd through the Thursday before Labor Day weekend.

• BYOB – Bring Your Own Bike, or arrange to rent from the mountain.
• Children will need to be registered and a waiver will be signed by a parent or guardian. Drop-ins are welcome, but participation requires a signed waiver.

Yoga:

This summer, Saddleback will be hosting a range of yoga classes taught by various certified yoga instructors. See the list below for the difference in classes. To see what class fits your busy life, click over to our Events Page

• Hatha Yoga – Sunday Mornings from 10:00 – 11:00 am

Bike Shops:

We all know the supply chain is a little slow these days. Sometimes getting the item you want at the right time is a struggle. On the bright side, most Maine bike shops are filled with inventory and ready to get you onto a new bike! In the market for some new wheels? Stop by your local shop and see what they have. Their numbers might surprise you! After all, mountain biking is on the rise in Maine – jump on the trend early!

Saddleback Webcams:

Have you visited the Saddleback Webcams? With three cameras scattered across the mountain, you’re guaranteed to get the best sunset. You can go back in time if you missed the best part. While you can catch some pretty amazing sunsets, you also are able to watch crews working. You can see some prospecting stakes for the new Sandy Quad. Click the link below to watch them get ready for the summer season!

Nature Walk and Geocaching:

Are your kids itching to get out of the house? Maybe some geocaching is in their future! Or, something for the whole family, a good ol’ walk in our back yard! Whatever you fancy, Saddleback has your outdoor goals. As the time gets closer, we’ll go into more detail.

• Nature Walk – Every Saturday starting May 28 Click here
• Geocaching – Every Sunday starting May 29 Click here

Height of Land Vandalism:

While I like to keep these emails positive, vandalism has been a hot topic in the Rangeley area in recent years. The overlook gold plaque was stolen and destroyed last summer. Sadly, to start this summer season, vandals have cut down the information kiosk at the Shelton Noyes Overlook in Rangeley. If you know anything about this horrible act, please Franklin County Sheriff’s Office at (207) 778-2680.

Weather:

As this week sent us cooler weather. We’re looking at thundershowers throughout the day on Saturday with the sun coming back out on Sunday! It’s shaping up to be a great weekend for those pre-summer activities.

Day:	Friday:	Saturday:	Sunday:
High:	78	68	71

You can see some chairs were taken off the Rangeley last Friday for their annual NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) on 30% of the chairs. You can go back in time to 5/13 at 12:10:00, you’ll be able to see the lift spinning. Plus, if you zoom in, you can see someone flipping the chair cushions up for the summer.

Weather:

As this week sent us cooler weather and forced most of us back into pants and sweatshirts, I can’t say the weekend will be any better. We’re looking at thundershowers throughout all three days. While most of the indoor activities start in the coming weeks, you still can do things inside.

Day:	Friday:	Saturday:	Sunday:
High:	67	84	82
Low:	49	60	48

Watch out for lighting!

Fall Is Here:

As Summer pretty much came to a close last weekend as the kids went back to school. Fall is in the air and we all know what that means – Ski season will be here soon! The leaves start to change, that crisp smell is in the air and pumpkin spice everything. However you enjoy the fall, just know that first snowfall is coming fast!

Merrill Hill

Merrill Hill, Sunday River’s latest project is really going great! An insert from their website “The Merrill Hill project continues to move forward. If you’ve been around the resort, there is a noticeable change. With several trails, roads, and lift lines cut, we’re excited to move into the lift- and snowmaking-building phase for the Sunday River Real Estate-exclusive development. During this time, some areas of the mountain are closed to all pedestrian traffic Monday through Friday. Please be aware of all signage around North Peak and Merrill Hill. You may need to choose alternative routes, or consider other places to explore as the area is filled with great hikes and walks.” Sunday River’s TikTok posted a video of the lift equipment from Doppelmayr sitting in a near by parking lot. Looks exciting! Check it out by clicking the link below.

Scenic Lift Rides:

Catch a ride up Sunday River’s Chondola to North Peak before it is too late. The Chondola is dog, kid, and grandparent-friendly, so you’ll want to pack up your whole family for this scenic adventure. Lift rides are available from 10AM-4PM on Saturdays and Sundays from early July to mid-October. You can buy tickets online in advance, but will need to pick up your tickets upon arrival. You can also purchase tickets on-site at South Ridge Lodge. Lift tickets will be issued until 3:30PM or until capacity is reached. If you plan to ride the lift back to the bottom, please load before 4PM. For more information, visit the link below.
