The current forecast for the summit of Madonna calls for a temperature of -10 degrees at 8 am Friday with a wind chill of -40 degrees. Winds slowly diminish through the day. At 2 pm we’re expecting the temperature to rise to -3 degrees with a wind chill of -30 degrees. With these conditions, Madonna I lift will not operate in the morning and likely not at all on Friday. Madonna II will operate instead. Saturday we see some improvement, it will be -8 degrees at 8 am with a wind chill of -31. By 10 am it rises to -5 degrees with a wind chill of -25 degrees. Consequently, we expect the opening of Madonna I on Saturday to be delayed until at least 10 am. Madonna II will open earlier. We currently expect the Sterling and Morse lifts to operate as scheduled.
