Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. That’s right, it’s March 19th, and we have more snow! We plan to have top-to-bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 6 lifts operating, including Madonna I. Last night’s projection for open trails was 55, but that count should go up with the fresh snow. 35 trails groomed, totaling 139 acres. Ski U soon.

Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Grateful to get on the slopes today – my best ski day – so far this season! … and my first time this season on M1!! How about this run of bumps, woods, and groomers: Upper FIS (pre-snowmaking – all natch) to Lower Doc’s to Goat Path to lower Upper FIS to Mulcahy’s Link to Lower FIS! Can skiers shred the gnar like snowboarders? If so, it was a Grateful Shred.
Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Arlo and the Grooming Crew always have something to do, but 150 acres is a lot of terrain – thanks, guys! For today we plan to have top to bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 5 lifts operating including Madonna I. The forecast is sunny, blustery, then partly sunny with a high of 26 degrees. See you on the slopes.
Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. I called an Uber but a Groomer showed up instead. Makes sense, the groomed trails will be the best ride, at least until conditions soften up. Sterling Lift is closed for mechanical repairs but we hope to have it operating tomorrow. For today, we’ll have 5 lifts including Madonna I, and 29 trails open.
UPDATE: Parking Lot 1 is closed because there is no way to ski back to it from the Madonna trails.
