RANGELEY — Join Saddleback Mountain Sunday, Feb. 9 for an Uphill fundraiser to benefit Saddleback Ski Patrol, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Check-in starts at 8 a.m. with laps running from 9 to 11 a.m. Cost is $50 to enter and includes an up-hill ticket. Proceeds will benefit Saddleback’s amazing patrol team. There will be a number of prizes to give away to participants.

Grab your skis, skins and/or your snowshoes and follow the the up-hill trail. Along the route participants will be dealt playing cards. All participants will get a full poker hand (5 cards) in their first trip up the mountain. After your first lap you can do additional laps for 1 extra card per lap, the more laps you do, the better the chances for a winning poker hand.

Upon check-in of the event, guests interested in skiing lifts that day can purchase a discounted lift ticket.

After your final descent down the mountain join us inside at a table in The Pub at 3 p.m. to see if the hand you were dealt will win you a prize or declare you the overall winner!
