The weather could not make its mind up today. We received an inch of new snow overnight. The skies cleared out this morning, allowing some sunshine. The clouds rolled back in midday with some snow showers. The clouds separated late in the day, and the sun came back out. We ended up with 1 to 2 inches of new snow in the past 24 hours. Tomorrow, we plan to have top-to-bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 6 lifts operating, including the Madonna I Lift. We have 42 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. 32 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, including Upper FIS, McPherson’s, Smugglers’ Alley, Thomke’s Express, Snow Snake, and Howie’s Wanderer, for a total of 133 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are machine groomed and variable, with average base depths of 12 to 40 inches. Birch Run Terrain Park is open with 8 features. Currently, it is partly sunny and 28 degrees at the summit of Sterling. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for mostly sunny skies and breezy with a high of 47 degrees at the base and 42 degrees at higher elevations.
