THREE INCHES OF
NEW SNOW OVERNIGHT!
OUR SNOW IS BETTER
The weather has been a bit confusing of late. One day it's 40 degrees the next it's sub zero temps. We have had rain, snow, sleet. Right now it is back to snow: 3 inches last night.
The deep base Saddleback snowmakers create on the trails makes our snow last longer. The spot-on instincts of Jared Emerson and the grooming crew in relation to timing and temperatures for grooming are a careful calculation to create for you the best snow experience, no matter what the weather. Our goal is quality over quantity.
Saddleback snowmakers are committed to their craft. During the recent cold snap they braved sub zero temps, with incredible wind chills throughout the night, blasting huge piles of snow.
Don't get stuck in that rut of thinking just because there  is no snow where you are that there is no snow anywhere.Temp-eratures and climates are different at 4000 feet elevation. And frankly our snow is better. Click here to find out why.
We have sweetened the deal to get you out on our snow.
Buy a $59 ticket January 18 or 19 and get a half price voucher valid Monday through Friday, January 20 thru February 14. Use your voucher to ski on Monday of MLK weekend! The mountains are calling...
