CVOA SKIS SADDLEBACK
Soft powder, stunning vistas and new
terrain greeted 20 CVOA skiers who trekked over to Saddleback Christmas week to
ski our sister mountain.
The group gathered in the base lodge
early to gear up, drink coffee and swap stories about the moose sightings along
“Moose Alley” .. Route 16 between Stratton and Rangeley.
Although the mountain was completely
socked in for the first few runs, the skies cleared and the sun shone brightly
by mid-morning, offering spectacular views of the Rangeley Lakes Region.
“Wow” was the word used most to describe
the views by members of the Carrabassett Valley Outdoor Association.
Saddleback offers group discount tickets
every day for just $25 if a group has 20 or more skiers. CVOA took advantage of
the offer during the holiday week, when many of its members who hold season
passes to Sugarloaf were “blacked out.”
It was the second trip to Saddleback for
the group … and the response was enthusiastic enough to make it an annual
outing.
Skiers included Paul & Linda Trueworthy, Peg & Glen Bickford, Sandy & Jim Osterider, Marcel Poulin, John McCatherin, Nancy Perry, John Morey, Tom Anderle and family.
