Saddleback 1/13
No friends on a powder day.
Couldnt convince anyone to tag along with me, so I headed up to Maine solo.....
Stayed at a friends place at sunday river -- but had free ticket to Saddleback that I couldn't see go to waste...
Got to saddleback pretty late in the day, noon, but missed some mixed/wet conditions and it was snowing pretty good when I arrived.... They had a mid-day groomer on Green Weaver and I harvested some fresh cord....
The main double was running, but the quad wasn't running yet-- so I just explored everything I could off of the double.... skiers right side of any trail had more wind-blown. Golden Smelt was a lot of fun, as were the Ghost, Doctor, and Devil.Last edited by rocojerry; Jan 25, 2012 at 8:23 PM. Reason: finished my thought, fixed img

Saddleback is on my hit list for the Spring. I've made it up to the Loaf the last two Aprils. I did drive by Saddleback on my way home last year, looks like a fun mountain. I'd love to ski Maine in the Winter, just so many other options closer to home. I'm only tempted when they are the only ones open. Sugarloaf is a blast in the Spring, I'm sure Saddleback is too.

It was my favorite of the day I think! Classic saddleback winding trail.
