    If you are someone who enjoys difficult terrain, cleared out glades, and no lines then you should certainly make your way up here. The staff were very friendly from the vehicle parkers, to the lodge workers and lift staff. The pastrami breakfast special is a must get if you need morning fuel. Ironically the day I come here I met Maine's famous Donny Pelletire. Cool dude, ripped on my my fat skis in a jokingly manner but gave him a fist bump and went on my way. But yeah, this is a place to come to check off your New England skiing destinations. Not sure what a lift ticket costs but if you are an Indi Pass holder coming for the first time save some time and create a Saddleback account on their web page, sign the wavier, and getting your $5 rfid card will take two seconds inside.

    Sunday brunch at the Pub. Delicious!!

    The snow is falling.. The mountain and the Pub are open. Delicious brunching! Can't wait to get on these trails!!

    Biscuits and gravy

    We were looking for a place near Wayne's dad's for Fathers Day and decided to try the brunch at the Pub at Saddleback. Bloody Mary and mimosa bars, full buffet with omelette station and several gluten free options. Great service, wonderful view. Great smoked salmon, lobster eggs Benedict and more.

    About to grab the lift.
    Tina L.

    It's 0 degrees outside and probably 20 people on the mountain. Easy to get on the lift and down the trails. Lots of fun! Grabbed a bite at the pub and back out for one more run!

    SADDLEBACK IS BACK!!! Kicking off the reviews with the newly re-opened Saddleback Mountain! The mountain has been closed the past 5 years but is back and better than ever. Couldn't ask for anything more with a ski mountain. Great skiing and friendly staff! The new lodge is big and bar upstairs is awesome! New high speed quad gets you to the top to get all those great views/runs in. Great slopes for all levels. The lodge has a wide variety of drinks and your classic pub food tastes great after a day of skiing. Excited to see what the 20/21 ski/snowboard season brings!

    New fast detachable quad

    Hard to believe this place actually closed for 5 years. Lodge is better that 1/2 of New England bar is bigger that 95%, food is cheap and great staff is very friendly and feel free invested in the new success. Katie was great behind the bar. Skiing- 14inches MLK weekend. Conditions were awesome. Lines were not. I've been here before and they have a high elevation and a very very good all Black-Double D mountain. Sadly not open yet. Best amall town mtn in the East

    We have a home mountain (Mohawk Mountain in CT) and are regulars at Sugarbush, Mad River Glen,…read moreKillington, and a few other east coast ski mountains as well. We sometimes get to ski in Europe, Canada, Japan and the West Coast of the USA. All that is a long-winded way of saying that when it comes to skiing, we get around. And with all that getting around, we can confidently say that Sugarloaf is one of our favorite mountains. What Sugarloaf has going for it: - It's incredibly friendly. There are a lot of locals / Mainers who ski here and they are the nicest. Employees are helpful and awesome, from folks in the tuning shop to lift operators to restaurant staff. The tuning team did a fantastic job on our skis. - Terrain is varied and fun, appropriately graded. Many runs are quite wide, which makes everything feel easy. And the mountain is HUGE with good, long runs. It almost feels European in that sense. There's a section of the mountain for woods / off piste skiing. - Employees are low key and nice about where you boot up and leave bags -- at least in March on a weekday when there aren't huge crowds. We try to be respectful and follow rules, but when we asked other skiers whether it was kosher for us to leave bags in a conference room / dining room area (where we could see lots of others leaving bags), they were almost indignant: "This isn't Sunday River!" ;) - My dear college buddy, a self-appointed whoopie pie connoisseur, Mainer, and former Sugarloaf ambassador, claims that the Base Lodge cafeteria has the best whoopie pies around. - They're on the IKON pass! Only two downsides I can think of for us: - Some of the parking lots are super duper far from the Base Lodge. My buddy and I explored some areas of the mountain that were new to him and ended up at a way-far-down lot. We had a long, hot, uphill hike back to the Base Lodge area. - The mountain is about 7 hours from home. If only we could teleport. This is such a great mountain. It's one that makes me glad and grateful to ski the East!

    Sugarloaf Ski Resort was fun as always. I've been coming here since I was a kid -- going on 35-40…read moreyears now -- and it still feels like a winter tradition. That said, the prices have climbed steeply over the years, and it's definitely one of the most expensive mountains to ski in Maine. The snow today was on the icier side. The trails were groomed, but the top layer of powder wore off quickly -- within about an hour and after only a handful of skiers -- leaving large icy patches across the mountain. It would've been great to see a bit more attention to grooming given the conditions. On the bright side, our ski instructor, Terry, was absolutely fantastic. Truly one of the best instructors we've ever had -- patient, skilled, and a pleasure to learn from. Overall, we still had a great day on the mountain and will be back, just like always.

    Black Mountain of Maine - 100% open!

    Black Mountain of Maine

    Delightful experience, away from the fracas, cacophony, disorganization, lack of service, and…read moreanonymity of the corporate ski areas. Black Mountain of Maine is a wonderful anti-corporate answer to the "big" areas. Cozy, friendly, and beautiful runs down the mountain. A place where kids can run around without fear or the need for parental hovering. A kick-butt bar with live music. Simply, what skiing was and should be.... We got here for the first time on the Indy Pass as we have been visiting Indy areas, some of them for several years in a row. Black Mountain is a short drive away from downtown Rumford, a paper mill, quaint town of 6,000 people featuring historic homes and a working downtown. Arriving at Black Mountain, the large lodge is quite welcoming, with just about every conceivable need within the lodge. Once outside, the beginner's Novice Lift provides optimal runs for novices or warmups. The main lift, although a slow fixed triple, allows access to most of the 1,100 vertical terrain and a variety of trails. It should be said that with some effort and uphill hiking, there is another side of the mountain, glades galore, that is accessible from this area. There is yet another T-bar that provides access to even more terrain. Apres-ski, we were treated to a superb pub with great rock music, plenty of beer, and great company. Overall, the vibe in this mountain is what I remember skiing was like from my youth. Unhurried, civil, friendly, and simple. Awesome place.

And even though Thursdays are the discount lift ticket days for Maine residents, we were able to park very close to the small lodge. It was under $40 for two adult all-day lift tickets. The west side is much smaller with easier trails. But it like the main lodge, offers ticket window, rentals and a full service snack bar. We always pack our cooler and drinks and eat inside or sometimes on the outside patio when all the inside seats are taken. The restrooms are clean. Staff is friendly. It is a great place for families and new skiers.

Bean subsidizes these lift tickets (available for purchase in-person with proof of Maine residency). I was so thankful to learn of this super deal as I had pretty much given up skiing because of lack of affordability, Mt. Abram doesn't have the variety of terrain that its neighbor Sunday River has, but it also doesn't have the astronomical prices or crowds either. For someone who just wants to get out a few times a year and do some hot-dogging (jk!) in the crisp Maine air without breaking the bank, this is a great option, with lift tickets a max of $42/day. Note - I was glad we brought lunches because the Loose Boots Lounge was closed. It's only open for lunch Fri. - Sunday. However, looking at the menu and beer prices, I'm sorry it was closed. A Stella Artois for $5 at a ski mountain? Unheard of. So glad to have this option only an hour away :)

This resort definitely seems to have a monopoly on the nearby lodging. When we got to our room, it was filled to the brim with ladybugs, more ladybugs that I normally see you in a year, and regular flies also. We did not know what to do about the bug situation, so we hunted around the room with an extra coffee cup and shooed them out into the hallway. After speaking with some of the other guests of the wedding, it seems that they had a similar experience with the bugs. In the room, the pictures on the wall were all crooked with people we didn't recognize, and the place itself felt very outdated and hot and humid. The sun poured in, and the shades did not filter out enough of the light for it to be comfortable for us in the evening or the day. We had trouble keeping the fans on at night, because of the noise that they made in the clicking sound of the rotating fan. The beds were also some of the squishy beds. I've stayed in, in my life. It's easy to sink and to never rise again! We only stayed one night, so most of this was not worth complaining about, however next time I might splurge for a non-bottom tier condo room/hotel rental.

And while I still haven't found any moose, I saw my first loons in real life right behind my room AND managed to capture their haunting song on video right from my patio!! This beautiful inn has been around for over 100 years - and the inside of the main lodge is full of antiques and is oozing with Victorian charm - so warm and inviting!! All the staff were just fantastic- caring and eager to help and so friendly - in the lodge and the tavern both. I reserved a water view king room in the Haley Pond Lodge and it was huge!! Lots of shelf space and a huge patio overlooking the pond - just magnificent! The room had a standard coffee maker, microwave and fridge. The bathroom was beautiful and everything was spotlessly clean. Water pressure and temp worked perfectly. The grounds are the best part - there are mallard ducks all over the place. I saw two deer right outside my room when I first arrived. One night I heard a moose bugling (mating call) and it was so loud haha! Shame I never saw him lol. There are tons of species of waterfowl on the pond - I saw Ring-necked Ducks and Mergansers!! And the best part was I saw LOONS!! At first, I found a mated pair right out back from my room - and they were fishing - it was so fantastic! And I saw more out across the pond bathing and preening. The mornings were super foggy which created such an eerie ambiance and the loons were crying their haunting song - oh it was just magical! Breakfast isn't included but is served daily. I didn't try it so can't speak to it but I did have dinner in the tavern one night and it was fabulous. I got the Parmesan crab dip and a tavern salad with grilled salmon - all totally delicious. I visited in late September so the fall foliage was just starting to come in - I can only imagine how gorgeous it is during peak foliage. This is a marvelous place to base yourself out of for wildlife chasing, skiing, summer fun on the lakes - for really any kind of vacation honestly. Haley Pond Lodge is detached from the main inn and set quite a ways back - but the grounds are easily walkable. There's plenty of parking and it's very centrally located in the adorable town of Rangeley. I even walked over to the huge Rangeley Lake a few times bc it's so close - it's especially wonderful at sunset. Prices for food and lodging are reasonable, even during peak seasons. All in all I had a great experience and will most definitely be back - without a doubt!
