Saddleback is blessed with the best learning and beginner terrain on the East Coast. All serviced by the South Brach quad chairlift which is 2822 feet long. 10 trails for a total of four miles of gentle slopes to help any beginner gain confidence away from all the traffic, which is so common at other resorts. Glades to explore and play imaginary games in and one separate trail dedicated to a long, long beginner terrain park with small features which are just plain fun for anyone. All this is all located below our base lodge, far from the experts, whose fast skiing can so often take the fun out of learning. If there is someone you love or really care about; this is truly the best place to introduce them to skiing or snowboarding.
