RANGELEY (AP) — The Saddleback ski mountain says it won’t be opening for February school break next week.

The resort in Rangeley, Maine, announced last month that the family that owns the resort had reached an agreement with a buyer and was working out the details. But the resort posted on Facebook that there was no further word on an opening date.

The resort has held out hope of opening later this season, but gave season pass holders the option of getting a credit bonus, converting the season pass into a gift card or obtaining a full refund.

Owner Mark Berry said previously that the resort would close if it could not replace a 51-year-old double chairlift with a faster, modern quad lift.
