Saddleback

A beginner run in the Back Bowls, one of the easiest routes from the Paradise Chair. Named for its topographic profile; a saddle-shaped dip in the ridge. Part of the patrol sweep sector; patrollers sweeping Whitehorn 1 coordinate with Saddleback sweepers at the gates, and the sweep continues via Wounded Knee and Split Rock toward the Paradise Radio Watch. A good option for mixed-ability groups; those wanting harder terrain have Paradise Bowl, Saddleback Bowl, and Wounded Knee nearby, while beginners can enjoy the views of the backside from the run.
