If B...It will really depend on the snow conditions. If Black is wide open and has plenty of cover, you can definitely keep entertained for a day there. The pitch of the trails is equivalent to Red Devil / Blue Devil at Saddleback. Nothing super major but they are fun cruisers. Black has done a lot of work lately on glades and I have not yet hit a good snow day there, but I think they would be a lot of fun if the conditions were right. If the conditions / cover is marginal at all then I would recommend SB as they are colder and snowier usually. Regardless have fun!Michael Salisburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12060209580250854814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-656530931650946560.post-38317800911181690822013-11-18T10:51:13.028-05:002013-11-18T10:51:13.028-05:00I think my wife and I are going to ski on the Frid...I think my wife and I are going to ski on the Friday of the AZ Summitt----daycare drop off in So NH at 7 then point the car to either Saddleback or Black. We were SB passholders for 2 yrs and know/LOVE the mtn well. It appears to be about 20 mins less drive time to go to Black and onto SL vs SB. Am I crazy to consider Black and pass up SB? I like trying new mtns but just want to be sure there's enough to keep us entertained for probably 3-4 hrs. <br />Price is certainly right! My wife loves groomers and it would be cool to have her check out some low angle glades.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
