Freshly groomed terrain and sunshine

Posted at 8:03 am

Today we have skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 4 lifts operating. We have 32 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. The Madonna I lift will not be open today. In the case of a lift evacuation, the icy surface on Madonna Liftline would make it hard to get the skiers and rider off the mountain safely. The Sterling Lift, Madonna II Lift, Village Lift, and Sir Henry’s Wonder Carpet are all operating. Surface conditions are machine groomed and variable with average base depths of 14 to 52 inches. 31 trails have been groomed for today, including McPherson’s, Curley’s Cutback, and Snake Bite for a grand total of 114 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Currently, it is sunny and 15 degrees at the summit of Sterling with winds of 10 to 20 mph. Today’s forecast is calling for mostly sunny skies with a high of 37 degrees.
