Lifts and Trails

Today we have 3 lifts operating; Sterling Lift, Mogul Mouse’s Magic Lift, and Sir Henry’s Glider. We have 30 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. 14 trails have been groomed for today, that’s 56 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are packed powder and powder with average base depths of 20 to 50 inches.

Weather

Currently it is 10 degrees at the summit of Sterling with light snow and winds of 10 to 20 mph. Today’s forecast is calling for a chance of snow showers early with skies becoming sunny later in the day and temperatures between 1o and 22 degrees.

Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Our Snowmaking Crew is taking advantage of favorable conditions to make snow on the Sterling Mountain trails Black Snake, Birch Run, and Practice Slope. In the accompanying photo, you can see Snowmaking clouds rising along skiers’ right on Practice Slope. Of course the Snowmakers have been working all night, I just witnessed their efforts later in the process early in the morning… you know what mean… I’m just a Ronnie-come-lately.
