I loved that tree. It was so absurdly cold to take a photo there! @ski diva was brave to take it. The rime ice looked so sculpted, or . . . I don't have the right word. That tree and the one next to it (not visible in this photo) looked like giant totem poles - and look at the "perfect" one two trees down! The lift that brings you up here was also covered in a light coating of rime!From the summit of Saddleback during Diva East. Amazing ice coverage on the trees!

They are having another all-day clinic March 5! Aren’t you going to Saddleback in a bit? Why don’t you detour over to Vermont for a weekend? Does your husband drink beer? Send him back on a flight home before continuing on your road trip!So jealous!
Definitely let me know when you decide to come! And don’t be scared of visiting on a weekend… it never feels crowded once you’re on the mountain!I'm not going to saddleback until late March, and I'm already detouring to some places to use my epic pass.
MRG 2023!!
Will do!!Definitely let me know when you decide to come! And don’t be scared of visiting on a weekend… it never feels crowded once you’re on the mountain!

It’s the women’s alpine clinic - I’ll have to write up my experience but I found it super valuable and feel that I’m skiing noticeably better (even if my latest video that DH took suggests otherwise, ha ha):What kind of clinic? (even though I would still have my Women's lesson on March 6)
