Resort or Ski Area: Saddleback

Conditions: Powder!

Trip Report: I have been meaning to write this for 2 days but I've been visiting my father who has no power.

Took a random Powder Flu day from work Friday to head up to Saddleback. They didn't open on Thursday at all. (thanks to 50 + MPH winds at the base) Eventually, they would end up only opening The lower 2 lifts and the T-Bar. Unreal skiing. The trees were PHENOMENAL!!! No action shots (as I was solo) but, here is what I took:

The total number of cars in the lot as of 8 a.m.:

I earned turns for the first hour since nothing was running. Pristine Powder down lower Green Weaver:

Great day. Super Jealous of Salsgang and anyone else who could hit the Quad on Saturday. I bet it was amazing.

The longest line at the T-Bar:
