Once the winds subsided and all the lifts got turning by mid-day it was a great day at Saddleback. As wig says, the shade and elevation were your friends. Lots of good snow in the trees and on upper trails like Muleskinner per the old man pick below. Loads of fun.
Bonus GoPro video from our runs down Peachy's and Muleskinner. My teenager let me have a couple of turns on Peachy but then blew by me to take the fresh from the undeserving.
