In case you missed it, Saddleback had a heck of a good time for February vacation week. Whether you were in the lodge, on the slopes, or outside on the deck, it was a great week with plenty of snow and plenty of activities.

From Lollipop races to the celebration of 2/22/22 with skiers sporting tutus, the visit of the 13-foot high L.L.Bean Bootmobile, Saddleback was having even more than fun usual and literally on fire with the return of the much-loved torchlight parade.

Speaking of fire, the musical entertainment of mountain favorites such as Abe Whittaker, The Mallet Brothers Band Trio and DJ Eric Pomerleau who was blasting out more tunes on the deck made for a continuous celebration.

If that’s not enough, between all that Saddleback took the time to host not only a chili fundraiser for the ski patrol, but they held a silent auction and other raffles and specials that helped raise money for Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC). It’s a great cause to support and if you missed it visit their website at  https://b4bc.org/donate/.
