The Madonna I Lift will be closed tomorrow. 22 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, including Lower FIS, Log Jam, and Rumrunner, for a total of 94 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are machine groomed and spring conditions with average base depths of 8 to 32 inches. Currently, it is 39 degrees at the summit of Sterling with light rain. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for cloudy skies, a chance of sleet early on top with a high of 43 degrees at the base and 35 degrees at higher elevations. The temperatures will be colder as we get closer to the weekend, with snow forecasted Saturday night, Sunday, and Monday. I’m already doing my snow dance!

Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Our groomers will be busy overnight, preparing 34 trails/132 acres for tomorrow – including Upper FIS, Smugglers’ Alley, and Log Jam. We plan to have 6 lifts operating including Madonna I and Morse Highlands. This should help you get your daily on-hill experience.

What constitutes a full day of skiing/riding? My friend RoML says 3 runs is his daily recommended serving. I’ve also heard 4 runs. What is your definition of a day on the slopes?

RoML bringing out the blue. His daily recommended serving for a day of skiing is 3 runs.
