As the old New England saying goes, "if you’re looking for a change in the weather, just wait a minute."

That’s why we are committed to providing the most up-to-date, accurate weather and snow reports possible. This is where to find them, along with all the other information you need to make the most of your Saddleback experience.

Weather

 

 

Today is going to be another cold one up at the mountain. Temperatures today will start out near 0° at the lodge and -3° at the summit. It is expected to warm up a touch; if we are lucky we should see temperatures in low teens this afternoon. Skies today will be cloudy and winds will be blowing at 15 to 30 mph, hopefully calming as the day progresses. It is entirely possible that wind may be a factor in mountain operations today, check the website and social media for updates! This cold weather is no laughing matter, be vigilant about keeping extremities warm and keep an eye out for frost nip on your buddies. If you are skiing or riding with little ones today be sure to check in with them often about how they are feeling. Although the cold of a Western Maine winter can seem unforgiving at times keep in mind that these frigid temperatures are essential for natural snowfall. Tonight we will likely see snow showers and hopefully an inch or two of accumulation by morning.

Mountain Update

 

Snow surfaces today are expected to be some of the best on the east coast. Overnight, our mountain ops team flawlessly groomed 18 of our 54 open trails. If groomers aren’t your cup of tea and you prefer something a bit steeper and or bumpier I would suggest Golden Smelt. I’ve had my eyes on the Thrombosis Glades as well; maybe I’ll see you out there later today. Snowmaking is well underway on Tight Line and Dusty Miller! We urge you to brave the cold and come find your happy place. Whether that’s carving the corduroy or bumping down a zipper line; we’ve got something for everyone here at Saddleback!
