Diva East 2025 Sugarloaf Saddleback: Trip Report & Photos

[RachelV]

Many of us have rolled into Maine and our first (cold) day on the snow at Saddleback is tomorrow.

Did anyone take any photos at dinner tonight? Here's an amazing picture of @ilovepugs's pup Baxter since I took no other photos today.

What an absolutely GORGEOUS day at Saddleback today!


Top of America…the trails on the mountain in the distance is Sunday River


Top of Muleskinner


Looking back up at Muleskinner

Traversing out to Casablanca… @RachelV, @jthree closest to me with @lisamamot a little further ahead in yellow. The traverse looks gentle here, but it’s a long trek with a lot of little climbs along the way that gets quite tiring.

The blue skies though… Casablanca!

Random aside, here’s @jthree in the breakfast room at the Rangeley Inn. I couldn’t get over how large and ridiculous and funny that turkey painting was!
