Auburn, ME – Lost Valley’s owners confirmed late last week that financial troubles won’t keep the community ski area in Maine from opening this winter for its 55th season.
“We are excited to say, the slopes will be open this winter,” co-owner Connie King posted to Facebook on Friday, while hinting at some important news still to come. “Season pass sales and lessons programs will go on sale starting Thursday, October 8th at Season Pass Madness prices.”
Local skiers and riders were holding their breath this fall after Lost Valley, facing $1.6 million in debt, had to be bailed out last winter by a non-profit hurriedly formed to raise $23,000 in funds to open the ski area.
