Bluebird skies and mild temperatures made for a wonderful day. The sun was really working its magic today. Spring conditions appeared at the base and were working their way up the mountain. Currently, it is sunny and 37 degrees at the summit of Sterling. The overnight temperature is going to get close to freezing, but not go below. Any snow that does set up tonight will soften quickly tomorrow.
Tomorrow we plan to have 5 lifts operating, Madonna I, Madonna II, Village, Mogul Mouse’s Magic, and Sir Henry’s Glider. The Sterling Lift will be closed for a few days for a mechanical repair. We have 67 skiable trails and 44 lift-accessible trails open tomorrow. 19 trails have been groomed for tomorrow, including Upper Chilcoot, Waterfall, Lower Rumrunner, Treasure Run, Curley’s Cutback, and Sam’s Run for a grand total of 82 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are variable and machine groomed with average base depths of 16 to 50 inches. Tomorrow’s forecast is calling for partly sunny skies with a chance of a shower and a high of 57 degrees.
If you park in Parking Lot 1 you can ski or ride back to your vehicle by taking Shuttle, Crossover, Treasure Run, Lower Exhibition, and the Practice Slope.
Sterling Mountain is open during the day to uphill traffic. Please use Parking Lot 1, Practice Slope, old rope tow line, and Black Snake to ascend. There will be downhill traffic on Lower Rumrunner, Treasure Run, and Lower Exhibition.
Employees can ski or ride tomorrow.
