My daughter and I skied Saddleback 3-21-2012. The conditions were great for spring, lot of slop, water running over trails, etc. Saddleback handled it with ease. Best mountain in the East. The temperature was in the high 70*, my only regret was I didnt bring shorts!
We will make Saddleback our primary ski destination.

Best grooming in the East. With little snow, spring conditions the staff did a fabulous job grooming the wet snow. NICE!

If anyone has ever been to Wildcat in Nh, you will learn the joy fullness of Saddleback, narrow trails and steep, it was a blast, Kind of reminded me like Wildcat, to a degree. How ever don't take my word go to Saddleback yourself and enjoy such a wonderful Mountain as I did. The mogules were outstanding, trails were fun, had a great time, this will be a yearly trip for me.

Saddleback is a great mountain. Pure Maine skiing at its best! Great glades, narrow winding bump trails and one of the best learning areas in the Northeast. And now you can save money on Saddleback lift tickets at Liftopia!
