Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Mr. Groomer and his cohorts are always hard at work keeping up our supply of corduroy! Thank you for grooming 32 trails/133 acres (including Upper FIS) for today’s skiing and riding pleasure. Today’s forecast is sunny and breezy, with highs of 47 degrees at the base and 43 at the top. 6 lifts will be operating, including Madonna I, and 42 trails will be open (more trails may open as conditions soften). Surfaces are machine-groomed and variable. Ski U soon.
Lower Morse Liftline is now groomed full width. For the past few days our snowmakers have been filling in the skier’s right on Lower Morse Liftline. Our groomers then took over last night and this morning to provide beautiful corduroy across the whole trail. Thank you to our snowmakers and groomers for all their hard work. We also made snow on Hibernator and Snow Snake last night. Today, 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 57 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. Currently, it is partly sunny and 26 degrees at the summit of Sterling with winds of 0 to 5 mph. Today’s forecast is calling for mostly sunny skies with a high of 39 degrees at the base and 35 degrees at higher elevations.
Our snowmakers have been busy on Upper FIS for the past couple of days. The snow guns are now turned off, and it’s time for the groomers to take over. The groomers will push out all the snowmaking whales, and we plan to reopen the Madonna I Lift on Friday. Tomorrow, we plan to have skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 6 lifts operating. We have 45 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. 26 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, including Dixie’s Knoll, Midway, Smugglers’ Alley, Lower FIS, McPherson’s, and Black Snake, for a total of 108 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are machine groomed and variable, with average base depths of 12 to 36 inches. Currently, it is cloudy and 25 degrees at the summit of Sterling with winds of 0 to 5 mph. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for cloudy skies with a chance of freezing drizzle, a high of 33 degrees at the base, and 27 degrees at higher elevations.
Thank you Mountain Operations! Our snowmakers and groomers have been working around the clock to build up the base on Upper Chilcoot, Mulcahy’s Link, Lower FIS, and McPherson’s.
I would like to shout out to our groomers for another job well done! I had a blast today on both Smugglers’ Alley and Snake Bite. The conditions are good and are going to get even better. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for snow showers of 2 to 4 inches of accumulation possible, with a high of 27 degrees at the base and 22 degrees at higher elevations. Temperatures will be falling throughout the day. Tomorrow, we plan to have the Village Lift, Sterling Lift, Mogul Mouse’s Magic Lift, and Sir Henry’s Glider all operating. We have 15 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. We plan to open more terrain this weekend. All 15 trails will be groomed for tomorrow that’s a total of 63 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are machine groomed and loose granular with average base depths of 12 to 36 inches. Currently, it is cloudy and 25 degrees at the summit of Sterling.
Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Happy Kwanza! Our Groomers have groomed 13 trails for today’s skiing and riding pleasure. We plan to have 4 lifts operating and 15 trails open – with terrain for all abilities. More natural snow trails may open as conditions soften. Uphill Access is currently closed on all 3 Mountains. Ski you soon.
Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. While we wait for Mother Nature to deliver some freshies today and later this week, our groomers have been making the most of what we do have. 35 trails totaling 135 acres have been groomed. 7 Lifts, including Madonna I, will be operating, and 48 trails will be open. Today’s forecast is sunny and windy, then snow of 1-3 inches, with highs of 34 degrees at the base and 26 at the summit. Dress appropriately.
Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Snowmaking on Upper Chilcoot and Waterfall is in progress, which could lead to some good news later this week – stay tuned. Meanwhile, Groomers have been putting the tillers to 21 trails. We’ve received 9 inches of snow in the past 6 days.
While heading to the Perk in the Country Store for my usual Maple Latte with oat milk, I saw the Senior VP and head of Mtn. Ops Mark Delaney grooming the Tubing Hill. He shared the latest mountain news with me. I also saw former Snow Sport University snowboard instructors, and now Patrollers, Alissa and Rob. They were getting ready for Milk Run from the Village Lift. Milk Run is the first run down the mountain, and it’s not with oat milk. Speaking of beverages, Labatts is the beer special this weekend for the Apres Sports Parties in Bootleggers’ and the Black Bear Tavern.
Anywho, looks like a sunny day is ahead, with temps from the high teens to the low thirties, and gentle winds. Sounds like a great time to hit the slopes – ski U later.
Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Our Groomers work through the night and into the morning to prepare the slopes for your skiing and riding pleasure. For today that would be 16 trails including Smugglers’ Alley, Black Snake, and Howie’s Wanderer. Ski U later!
Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. 16″ of snow in the past 5 days. 24 trails for all abilities OPEN. The groomers have groomed 14 trails today for your skiing and riding pleasure. Wake up, smell the coffee, put on your gear, and hit the slopes!
