If you're waiting for a powder day at Saddleback Maine, then you might have a long wait. Only 8.0% of winter days see more than 6 inches of snowfall, which means, on average, you'll have to spend 10 days or more mining the slopes at Saddleback Maine to score that one great day. It could be worse, however. You could be muskie fishing.
Skiing at Saddleback Maine is about getting outside, ripping up the slope, eating chili dogs and getting in as much vertical as you can. It's not about big dumps. And that's okay. This place is about honing your skills for that trip to Snowbird or Alaska. With only 1.0% of months at Saddleback Maine getting more than 90 inches of snow, this isn't the place to set up your powderhound shack.
At the end of the drive from the Portland, ME airport to Saddleback Maine, drivers will have been planted in their seats for nearly three hours (169 minutes), which, to us, is some kind of dark line that shouldn't be crossed unless utterly necessary--like, say, if you're going to Silverton Mountain for heli-drops. If that's the case, keep driving!
