Great day on the slopes
I went skiing this morning on Madonna and Sterling. I did a nice long glade run on Madonna, Doc Dempsey’s to Bermuda. I was able to find some fresh turns in both of them. On Sterling I skied Bootlegger. I love how Bootlegger is narrow and steep. It keeps you on your toes. This afternoon I traded my skis for a snowboard and headed up the Village Lift. My daughter Hayleigh and I did some after-school shredding on Upper Morse Liftline “Hayleigh’s favorite trail.” Hayleigh even got a shout-out from the lift for riding through some fresh snow on the side of the trail!
Tomorrow we plan to have top to bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains. We plan to have 5 lifts operating; Village, Mogul Mouse’s Magic, Sterling, Madonna I, and Sir Henry’s Glider.

Grateful Shred
Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Grateful to get on the slopes today – my best ski day – so far this season! … and my first time this season on M1!! How about this run of bumps, woods, and groomers: Upper FIS (pre-snowmaking – all natch) to Lower Doc’s to Goat Path to lower Upper FIS to Mulcahy’s Link to Lower FIS! Can skiers shred the gnar like snowboarders? If so, it was a Grateful Shred.
1-2-3 inches of SNOW
Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. 3 inches of new snow overnight and a total of 7 inches in the past 2 days. Madonna I will have a slightly delayed opening due to snowmaking and grooming. 63 trails will be available for your skiing and riding pleasure. Having fun will be as easy as 1-2-3.
