We received 11 inches of new snow in the past 24 hours and 17 inches in the past 2 days. Our trail count was 30 on Friday and today it is 56! The new snow started off pretty heavy which is perfect for building a base. The wind also moved some of the snow around to fill in the low spots. The conditions were amazing today and I can’t wait to get back out there tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow we plan to have top to bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains. We plan to have 6 lifts operating, including the Madonna I Lift. The Madonna II Lift will operate tomorrow from 10 am till 2 pm. 19 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, including Smugglers’ Alley for a grand total of 85 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are powder and packed powder with base depths of 14 to 46 inches. Currently, it is snowing and 21 degrees at the summit of Sterling. Tonight’s forecast is calling for snow with another 1 to 3 inches of accumulation possible. Tomorrow’s forecast is cloudy skies with a chance of snow showers early and a high of 23 degrees.
