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.

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.
