Great mountain, great people, lots of snow, not so bad pricing, good lessons. Great coffee, lots of runs, good snow, helpful rental people, lift attendants in good humor, people generally having a good time.
This is not the place to go especially if you snowboard. I now understand why it was so much cheaper than sugarloaf. The lifts suck and one lift is a t lift that’s designed for skiers. Not a very pleasant way up for a snowboarder, as the thing digs into your leg the whole way up.When you do finally get up the mountain, there are very few signs of where your gong and difficulty levels of those trails.There Customer service was unsatisfactory. After falling off the difficult t lift and no other lifts to use because of weather it would have been nice to get a partial refund. They could only give me a half day ticket that expires soon and only in my name. When I explained I’m not going to be able to use it in that time frame, it was too bad for me and threats of being arrested if I tried to sell it to someone.Will not be coming here again.
My view of Saddleback was a long time ago. About 1936. My father took me to Saddleback to see where he and his parents lived in a logging camp at the base of the mountain. My Grandfather was a logger and my Grandmother was the camp cook in about 1922. My father had just returned from the war with grand mall and they took him there to get him away from Cohoes NY. There was a small foot bridge across a small brook about 100 feet from the camp. Dad said that he used to catch trout on a safety pin from the brook. I found an old ax head stuck in a chopping block and saved it. I still have it. To bad I cant remember just where the camp was. Maybe someone remembers. To many years have passed.
