I would like to give a shout-out to our wonderful grooming staff! We have had some pretty crazy weather recently, which was not the best for the snow. A great deal of snow had to be moved around to patch and cover bad spots. They did a great job in a short amount of time since the temperatures were too warm most of the night for grooming. Tonight’s weather will make it easier for our groomers with the cooler temperatures. Tomorrow we plan to have 6 lifts operating, including the Madonna I Lift. We plan to have 27 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. Surface conditions are machine groomed and variable with average base depths of 10 to 44 inches. We plan to groom 24 trails for tomorrow, including Chilcoot, Playground, Curley’s Cutback, Sam’s Run, Black Snake, and Birch Run for a grand total of 104 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Currently, it is partly cloudy and 36 degrees at the summit of Sterling. Tomorrow’s forecast is calling for cloudy skies with a chance of rain in the afternoon with a high of 46 at the base and 41 degrees at the upper elevations. I believe the best skiing and riding will occur in the first half of the day.
