NORDIC SKIING AT THE RANGELEY LAKES TRAILS CENTER:
524 Saddleback Mountain Road
This world-class trail system consists of 50 kilometers of superbly groomed trails set for classic or skate skiing. Located on lower Saddleback Mountain, the system stretches through the heart of the 8,000- acre Saddleback preserve. It offers a variety of skiing opportunities for all ability levels, beginner to expert.
The Nordic skiing ranges from gentle tours around Saddleback Lake to challenging climbs and thrilling descents of the flanks of Saddleback Mountains. Our Nordic cross-country trails have the highest elevation of any ski resort in New England, and Mother Nature provides an annual average snowfall of over 200 inches. There are day-use trail fees or season passes, and lessons and equipment rentals are available at the lodge.
Various clinics and events are planned throughout the snow season, the largest being the popular Rangeley Lakes Loppet held annually the first weekend of March.
