I had a wonderful time today! We received 32 inches of snow in the past week and everything is in great shape. The groomers have a nice deep base and the glades have filled in. I took a run with Matt McCawley and his group today. We skied Upper Chilcoot, Catwalk, Doc Dempsey’s, Ruthie’s, Gary B’s, and Bermuda. Of course, Matt had a few tricks up his sleeve and we were able to find a few powder stashes also. It’s always fun to ski with Matt!
Tomorrow we plan to have top to bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 6 lifts operating, including the Madonna 1 lift. We plan to have 77 out of 78 trails open tomorrow with terrain for all ability levels. Surface conditions are packed powder and powder with average base depths of 16 to 54 inches. We plan to groom 35 trails tonight, including Waterfall, Snow Snake, and Snake Bite for a grand total of 132 acres of freshly groomed terrain. We also plan to groom some natural snow trails like the bottom of Black Bear, Shuttle, Evaporator, and Jolly Rodger. Currently, it is partly cloudy and 22 degrees at the summit of Sterling. Tonight’s forecast is calling for 1 to 2 inches of snow. Tomorrow’s forecast is calling for snow another 3 to 5 inches of accumulation possible and a high of 30 degrees.
