Casablanca on Saddleback

On Sunday and Monday I made a trip to check out the new Casablanca Glade at Saddleback. Wow. It’s going to be quite fun to ski.

This new huge and nicely manicured glade is to skiers left of Muleskinner

Jared Emerson, the supervisor of this cutting effort and Saddleback’s Patrol Director, hosted us onhill.

Jared, a third generation Saddleback patroller, has put a lot of thought into how they will patrol this area, which is going present a new challenge for that hill’s patrollers.

The glade work they have done up there is awesome and the crew was pysched for folks to get in there and use it. The video that follows is a rough, rough cut from my flip camera.

You can find a story and more professional video by Sun Journal photographer Russ Dillingham here, after Sunday a.m.

A big thanks to Jared and his crew on Saddleback for taking some time to show us around pre-season.

Now let’s get some snow.
