Our Patrollers were busy today dropping ropes on Madonna and Sterling. They opened 13 trails with natural snow cover! They even opened glade runs Powder Keg and Pirate’s Plank. The new snow that we received in the past 5 days is just what the doctor ordered. Speaking of snow, we are still making snow on Lower FIS, Lower Madonna Liftline, and Mulcahy’s Link. Tomorrow we plan to have skiing and riding on all 3 mountains. We plan to have the Madonna II Lift, Morse Highlands Lift, Mogul Mouse’s Magic Lift, Village Lift, Sterling Lift, and Sir Henry’s Glider all operating. We now have 32 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. Surface conditions are machine-groomed and variable with average base depths of 6 to 24 inches. 18 out of the 32 open trails will be groomed for tomorrow, including Black Snake, Dixie’s Knoll, and Lower Chilcoot for a grand total of 82 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Currently, it is cloudy and 11 degrees at the summit of Sterling. Tomorrow’s forecast is calling for mostly sunny skies with a high of 25 degrees and a little breezy.
This weekend the featured beer for the apres sports parties at Bootlegger’s and the Black Bear Tavern is Fiddlehead.
Uphill travel is open on Morse Mountain from 5 pm to 10 pm Friday through Wednesday. Morse Mountain is closed Thursday evenings due to fireworks and Cat Trax Tours.
Madonna and Sterling are presently closed to uphill travel until we have more trails open. Stay tuned for updates.
