Sat, Apr 10th – Last Day of 20/21 Lift Ops
Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. We had hoped to maintain Lift Operations through Sunday, April 11th, but the snow is melting so quickly that Closing Day has been moved up to Saturday. On Friday, we’ll determine if Sterling and/or Madonna I will be running. So, don’t hesitate to take those last runs of the season.
Currently Sterling
Conditions permitting, we hope to have both Sterling & Madonna Lifts running this weekend!
Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Sterling Lift will be operating today with 13 trails open (10 intermediate and 3 expert). 9 trails have been groomed including Smugglers’ Alley and Black Snake. Some trails may have a delayed opening until they soften up. Madonna is closed to uphill traffic today.
Yesterday was a great day for spring skiing! I got to make some turns with my friend Brendan and have lunch at the Black Bear. Today is shaping up to be the same. If you can, get out and enjoy it.
