For Saturday, March 20 all 8 lifts will be open from 9:00 am till 5:00 pm. One day and one day only. This will allow the temperatures to rise a bit before we open for the day.
Today 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 34 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. More trails will open once the snow softens. Surface conditions are machine groomed and loose granular with base depths of 14 to 48 inches. 32 trails have been groomed, including Upper FIS, Smugglers’ Alley, and Thomke’s for a grand total of 125 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Black Snake will be closed today from the meadows down tomorrow for a GS race. Snake Bite, Jolly Rodger, and Full Nelson will also be closed during the race. The race should be finished sometime around noon. Currently, it is sunny and 2 degrees at the summit of Sterling with winds of 10 to 20 mph. Today’s forecast is calling for mostly sunny skies with a high of 27 degrees.
