Jeffrey Day Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Anyone out there ever been to Saddleback mountain? I've heard they have been putting some money into the mountain and I was wondering if it has any good carving terrain and how their grooming is? Thanks!

Marc H Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Its not too wide for carving but it IS a good mountain. They groom here and there. But the best thing is that there is less of a crowd there on vacations and holidays. It's worth the trip and the price is reasonable. http://www.saddlebackmaine.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saddleback is truly a best-kept secret, and is further enough up to keep the majority of yuppies away. I've never found less than perfect snow/ groom. The only downer is the lift system (no high speeds). Rangeley is an amazing place too, lots of places to stay and beautiful scenery. Top choice for the Maine Mtn. Series alpine races.

Marc H Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Well that slope he is on is the only wide one I've been carving/racing down. Saddleback is one of my favorites in NewEngland though. Great for powder days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
