Hugh's Views

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. 24 trails have been groomed for today, that’s 109 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are machine groomed and spring conditions with average base depths of 8 to 34 inches. It did not freeze on top overnight, so the snow stayed soft. Currently, it is cloudy and 33 degrees at the summit of Sterling, with winds of 0 to 5 mph. Today’s forecast calls for cloudy skies, patchy fog, and a chance of a shower, with a high of 43 degrees at the base and 37 degrees at higher elevations.

Uphill travel is open on all 3 mountains at the regular scheduled times.

Please no dogs. For your safety and the safety of your pet. Thank you for your cooperation.

It was amazing to watch these athletes! They started at the top of Snake Bite and finished at the bottom of the Practice Slope. A slalom race is exciting because of the quick turns and crossblocks. These racers were pros at both!

It stopped snowing, and the sun came out. I skied today with a little rat pack filled with friends and family. We started the day on Morse and worked our way over to the upper mountains. On Sterling, it was Harvey’s Hideaway and Full Nelson that were our favorites. For Madonna, everyone enjoyed Upper FIS, Doc Dempsey’s Glades, Bermuda, Mustache, and The Shire. To be honest, you could not go wrong, because everything was good today! The visibility today was fantastic, and the summit of Madonna was the place to be. We hung out at the top of Madonna for a while, soaking up the sunshine and amazing views in every direction. Tomorrow should be a repeat of today with little warmer temperatures.
