Partly Sunny or Partly Cloudy?

Posted at 2:18 pm

Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Is it partly sunny or partly cloudy? Is the glass half-full or half-empty? Does a Mouse carry its lunch or walk to school? Diet or Regular? Is the worst day on the slopes better than the best day in the office? I can answer the last question with an unequivocal YES!

Snow Report for Wednesday: Tomorrow’s forecast is mostly sunny with a chance of late afternoon snow and a mid-mountain high of 33 degrees. We plan to have 5 lifts operating including Madonna I, and 50 trails open. 28 trails/114 acres are to be groomed.

Mogul Mouse’s Magic Lift, the Village Lift, and Sir Henry’s Glider will be open through Sunday, April 3rd. You can see the Notch in the background.

Chilly Willy

Posted at 7:11 am

Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. It’s the Big Chill out there, and I don’t mean “chill” in the smooth or mellow sense. Currently, it’s 21 below at the summit of Sterling. Due to the cold temps, the Sterling, Village, and Mogul Mouse Magic Lifts will have delayed openings of 11:00 am. However, Sir Henry’s Glider will open at 9:00 am. This afternoon the Sterling and Mogul Mouse Magic Lifts will close early at 3:30 pm. The good news… temps return to the mid-20’s tomorrow.
