 | Comments: |
I give Saddleback Ski area 5 stars for the most excellent uphill route. Well laid out, excellent signage, and very nice woods.
Between Saddleback and Saddleback Horn, really the full range of conditions, exposed ledge, serious ice, and deep snow. Due to warming temperatures, snowshoes were definitely best. The trail base is not solid. Lots of post-holing, even with snowshoes.
Really felt like Spring conditions. |
