All 10 trails have been groomed for today. Currently it is cloudy and 26 degrees at the summit of Sterling with winds of 10 to 20 mph. Today’s forecast is calling for rain mainly after 4 pm with a high of 45 degrees. We are expecting higher winds later today. Lift service may be affected later in the day by the wind. Surface conditions are machine groomed and packed powder with average base depths of 18 to 40 inches. We received an inch of new snow last night and 7 inches in the past 3 days.
We could see some wild weather in the next two days. Consequently, uphill access is closed for evenings and mornings tonight through Saturday night. There will be an update on Saturday afternoon’s Snow Report. Your cooperation is appreciated.
The Madonna/Sterling Base Lodge is open daily for bathrooms and Cafeteria (8:30 am – 3 pm) and Black Bear reservations under smuggs.com/blackbear.
