Rusty riding Thomke’s
We received 3 inches of new snow on top today and 33 inches this week bringing our total snowfall for the season to 91 inches. The temperature was dropping throughout the day, so the snow started out a little wet and got drier. Getting the wet snow first is key so that it bonds to existing snow. The new snow will insulate the existing snow and will protect it as the temperatures continue to fall tonight. Talking about falling temperatures, our snowmakers are ready to light up Lower FIS and Mulcahy’s Link tonight.

Lifts and Trails
Tomorrow we plan to have the Sterling Lift and Sir Henry’s Glider operating with 32 trails open. Sterling is 100 percent open with terrain for intermediates and experts. Sir Henry’s Learning Hill is open for beginners. Surface conditions are variable and machine groomed with average base depths of 14 to 48 inches. 8 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, that’s 25 acres of freshly groomed terrain.
