Date(s) Skied: January 15, 2011
Resort or Ski Area: Saddleback
Conditions: Powdah1 Packed Powdah! Some hard pack up top.
Trip Report: Great day at Saddleback. The skinny:
Snow - Lots of it, especially lower 2/3rds of mountain
Crowds - Good crowd but manageable lift lines
TOTD - Golden Smelt, Parmacheenee Bell, Lower Peachy's Peril
Quality Rating 8.5 out of 10. They are still a dump away from really getting rolling off the upper mountain. Casablanca had very good coverage... but all the headwalls off the quad were sketchy. After a couple of hours up top we ended up lapping the lower double and T and had a blast. Lots of soft stuff everywhere. They are making snow on Tight line so should be able to get some groomed headwall stuff soon.
A couple of pics:
Getting some Governor Goods
Our secret stash location. First tracks three days after the storm.
Casablanca Skied Very Nicely!
Muleskinner and the View
Gray Ghost giving it up!
