We plan to have top to bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 6 lifts operating, including the Madonna I lift. We have 25 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. More trails may open throughout the day tomorrow. Surface conditions are machine groomed and packed powder with average base depths of 10 to 46 inches. 24 out of the 25 trails will be groomed for tomorrow for a grand total of 103 acres of freshly groomed terrain.
