We received 7 inches of new snow in the past 24 hours and over 2 feet in the past 5 days. We could see another 10 inches of new snow before the weekend at higher elevations. Tomorrow we plan to have top to bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 5 lifts operating, including the Madonna I Lift. We have 66 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. We plan to groom 22 trails, including Drifter, Curley’s Cutback, and Thomke’s for a grand total of 99 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are packed powder and powder with average base depths of 12 to 46 inches. We are presently making snow on Black Snake, Snake Bite, and Birch Run. We plan to have these trails open for the weekend. Currently, it is snowing and 11 degrees at the summit of Sterling with winds of 5 to 10 mph. Tomorrow’s forecast is calling for cloudy skies with snow showers 1 to 3 inches of accumulation possible and a high of 25 degrees.
