Just a reminder to all you uphill aficionados; Madonna is currently closed to uphill travel. While we applaud those who have abided by the uphill policy, there have been several instances of behavior that is not in compliance. Smugglers’ has neither the time nor the resources to police behavior and continued issues could lead to closure. Sterling uphill is open as scheduled Thursday morning. The skin track is up Rumrunner only. Depending on snow conditions come morning, there is a possibility that we will need to groom Rumrunner before the lift opening. If that is the case, please give any groomers you see on the trail plenty of space. We expect snowmaking will be commencing on Snake Bite Thursday night. That means Black Snake will be closed below Jolly Rodger Thursday night and Friday morning, reopening Saturday morning. We are nearing the end of our major snowmaking efforts and you can expect evening uphill access on Madonna and Sterling to commence soon, probably later next week. Remember, check the snow report!
