Feel the rhythm, feel the ride - it's slalom time. Saddleback's premier snowboarding and snow-skating competition, the Back to the Banks Banked Slalom, returns Saturday, March 13, 2027. This timed, snowboard-and-snow-skates-only race runs down Grey Ghost on a course of banked berms and turns built to challenge riders. Last year the Maine snowboarding community showed up in force for a wicked-fun day; more event and registration details are coming soon on the resort event page.

Saddleback Maine - Grey Ghost

Think you've got what it takes to put the planks to the test? Planks to the Banks - the skiers' banked slalom - is back for year two at Saddleback on Sunday, March 14, 2027, the day after the snowboard-focused Back to the Banks. After a killer debut, it's another day of racing, good times, and pointing 'em downhill to lay down the fastest run on the banked course. More event and registration details are coming soon on the resort event page.

Open to skiers; a community-level timed banked slalom race in its second year.

Pond Skim is back at Saddleback, bringing one of the wildest days of the season to the mountain on Saturday, April 3, 2027 as part of Spring Bash Weekend. Watch skiers and snowboarders send it across the pond - stick the landing or take the full plunge - in costumes and springtime chaos while the crowd erupts. More event and registration details are coming soon on the resort event page.

Open to skiers and snowboarders who want to attempt the skim; costumes encouraged. A fun, community pond-skim rather than a sanctioned race.

Saddle up, cowboys and cowgirls - Bronco Buster is back on Saturday, April 10, 2027, and this ain't your average day on the slopes. One of Saddleback's most iconic spring events challenges skiers and snowboarders to buck, bounce, and battle their way down the legendary Bronco Buster tight line - a steep, bumped-up run - and see if you can ride 'em all the way down without getting bucked. More event details are coming soon on the resort event page.

Open to skiers and snowboarders comfortable on steep, ungroomed bump terrain; a fun challenge on the Bronco Buster line.
