preview

© 2022 Maine PublicPlay Live Radio0:000:00Available On Air StationsThe Rural Maine Reporting Project is made possible through the generous support of the Betterment Fund.Saddleback Mountain’s slopes opened to the public Tuesday morning after a five-year hiatus.Eager skiers in Rangeley brushed aside near zero-degree temperatures and strong winds to return to the state’s third-largest ski area.Skowhegan resident Mike Lambke was giddy about the chance to bring his now-teenage daughter to the hill, which closed while she was still a beginner.“And now she’s ready to ski anything, so for me it’s — like, I’m going to get to watch Zooey ski the whole mountain,” he says with a laugh. “I’m so excited.”And they’ll be able to get to the top a lot faster.
