Arctaris Impact Investors

Arctaris Impact Investors and Saddleback Mountain release Saddleback’s first Impact Report. Over the last four years, Arctaris Impact Investors has invested over $42M in Saddleback Mountain, helping revitalize nearby communities in Western Maine. These investments have resulted in nearly 240 jobs, a new workforce housing complex with 70 beds, and a 7.5 megawatt solar farm – and much more. The Saddleback Mountain Impact Report highlights the Mountain’s progress to date since its re-opening in 2020 and highlights the importance of the ongoing sustainability of this economic, recreational, and cultural asset. Saddleback and Arctaris Impact’s work has been made possible through a unique partnership between Arctaris Impact Investors, the Finance Authority of Maine, Foundation partners, and the Rangeley community. https://lnkd.in/ezQqUrcj #ArctarisImpact #CommunityRevitalization #CommunityBuilding #CommunityInvestment #ImpactCapital #OpportunityZones #ImpactInvesting #Rangeley #Maine Jonathan Tower Saddleback Maine Ski Area Uche Osuji Nihar S.

Saddleback Maine Ski Area: Ranked Ski Magazine's #4 Resort in North America https://lnkd.in/e36sRiYt WHY SKIERS LOVE SADDLEBACK? Ranked Ski Magazine's #4 mountain in NORTH AMERICA, right behind Aspen Snowmass (#3), Saddleback Maine Ski Area "is great for families whose idea of nightlife is Disney+ back at the condo, but also for powder nuts who want to churn bumps until their legs fall off. You won’t hear many complaints about the conditions, the crowds, or the lifts, and the high-speed quads are brand-new. [Arctaris Impact Investors] spurred ­development of slopeside lodging, a refreshed and homey base lodge, and newly cut woods that are easy to run laps through. Still favored, however, are the expert Casablanca Glades: “THE SINGLE BEST SPOT ON ANY MOUNTAIN IN AMERICA," said one reader." "The top of Kennebago Quad affords a breathtaking view of western Maine’s lakes and hills, along with drop-in after gnarly drop-in. Want to let ’em rip? Tight Line is among the steepest, straightest trails in the East." "Old-school vibe... Just snow, woods, and you. I love it here and will definitely return." #skimaine, #famemaine, #impactinvesting, #opportunityzones, Uche Osuji, Nihar S., Alan Halfenger, Katherine Mize, Russ Halliday, Andrew Orgel, Steve Glickman, Matt Dieterich, PARC Foundation

The word is out – BIG TIME! Arctaris Impact Investors is honored that Maine's Saddleback Maine Ski Area Mountain has been recognized as the #4 Ski Resort in North America and #2 on the East Coast by SkiMagazine readers! After three years running as “Best Ski Mountain” in Maine by Down East Magazine and Best of New England by the NE Ski Journal, it’s true, our secret isn’t a secret anymore. What's more, Saddleback is the comeback story of the century. It was shut down for five years until 2020, when Arctaris Impact purchased and reopened the mountain. Four snowy years later, we are proud that Saddleback has earned SKI Magazine's incredible recognition. “Old-school vibes. No flashy mountainside hotels. Just snow, woods, and you. I love it here and will definitely return.” – SKI Magazine. We’re a little shocked that our humble, independent mountain is on everyone's lips, but we are mostly grateful to the Saddlebackers. We wouldn’t be here without your support. From the bottom of our hearts, we sincerely thank you for noticing our efforts during our comeback. Trust us, this news lights a fire under us and we can't wait to see skis in the racks, riders on the slopes, and to keep showing you what independent ski & ride culture is all about. If you haven’t visited Saddleback yet, what the heck have you been doing!? It’s time to come ski or ride the mountain everyone's talking about. It's not just hype, it's truth.
