We are making snow on Lower Morse Liftline and Snow Snake. These trails will be closed today. The way down the bottom half of Morse Mountain is the Magic Learning Trail and Howie’s Wanderer. Today, we have top-to-bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 6 lifts operating, including the Madonna I Lift. We have 59 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. 28 trails have been groomed for today, including Log Jam, Smugglers’ Alley, and Upper FIS. Surface conditions are machine groomed and variable, with average base depths of 12 to 36 inches. Currently, it is sunny and 10 degrees at the summit of Sterling with winds of 5 to 10 mph. Today’s forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with a high of 27 degrees at the base and 22 degrees at higher elevations.
I would like to give our mountain ops. props! Making snow near a lift can cause some issues. You want to make snow on the trail and not on the lift. The wind direction and intensity can change at any time. This can put the snow in places you may not want. Our lift maintenance, groomers, and snowmakers worked together to get Lower Madonna Liftline open for us yesterday! Thank you very much for all your efforts!
