Saddleback - 3/2/13 They are Buried in Snow Edition

Date(s) Skied: March 2, 2013


Resort or Ski Area: Saddleback


Conditions: Powder / Packed Powder


Trip Report: Saddleback is BURIED. They got a legit 2 feet in the past week. Foot and a half of dense snow, followed by 6 inches of lighter stuff. Just about perfect. Woods are absolutely buried. Casa #4 was the only one showing a bit of stumpage to pick around. Everything else was spot-on. A really, really good day. Gotta love skiing in Maine.

As you can see by this pic from the Dark Wizard glade, there is loads of snow.



More pics, words and a quick video on my blog.

I read your blog. I hope winter skiing lasts at least a couple more weeks up there. Thank you. Makes me think I should get there this week.
