Saddleback is growing. The word is getting out that our terrain and snow are the best in the East. We expect to have significantly more guests this year which means we are hiring for positions across the mountain.

You may ask, “What is working at Saddleback like?”

Well let me tell you, there is no other mountain like Saddleback. Sitting at 4,120 feet in elevation we have big mountain terrain, however, our lodge has an intimate, small-mountain feel. The Appalachian Mountains of Western Maine are special. People save vacation time, squirrel savings, and travel hours to experience its majesty. You get to have it in your backyard. Hike, bike, swim, camp, fish, canoe, and more all within a 30-minute drive.

The guests we serve at Saddleback are all about skiing. Saddleback separates itself from its competitors by the service we provide. Our goal is that the guests feel completely cared for; they are so comfortable they feel at home. We don’t just walk past customers having difficulty. We step in and find solutions. We are more than a mountain; we are a community and host our guests as if they are dear friends.

Working at Saddleback is the perfect opportunity for those who are driven to invest in themselves.
