All lifts had a delayed opening for grooming this morning. Madonna I Lift, Mogul Mouse’s Magic Lift, Sir Henry’s Glider, and Sterling Lift are now loading. We presently have 29 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. 26 trails have been groomed for today, including Snow Snake, Drifter, and Rumrunner for a grand total of 101 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are machine-groomed and variable with average base depths of 12 to 50 inches. Currently, it is partly sunny and 12 degrees at the summit of Sterling with winds of 10 to 20 mph. Today’s forecast calls for a chance of flurries early then sunny skies this afternoon with a high of 32 degrees at the base and 24 degrees at higher elevations.

The day started off a little wet and then the sun came out! It was perfect weather for pond skimming. A great time was had by all!

Tomorrow we plan to have top-to-bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 4 lifts operating, including the Madonna I Lift. Some lifts may have a delayed opening in the morning due to grooming operations. We have 58 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. 26 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, including Upper FIS, Drifter, Garden Path, Magic Learning Trail, Smugglers’ Alley, and Thomke’s for a grand total of 118 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are machine-groomed and variable with average base depths of 12 to 54 inches. Currently, it is 48 degrees and sunny at the summit of Sterling. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for early cloudy skies with gradual clearing, a high of 30 degrees at the base, and 23 degrees at higher elevations.

Sterling Mountain will be closed Sunday morning April 2nd to uphill access due to grooming operations.
