Honey, where is the car?

I went skiing yesterday and at the time I thought yesterday was the best day of the season so far. We then received another 14 inches of new snow overnight and another 6 inches during the day today. Needless to say, I’ve changed my mind and today was the best day of the season so far! We are 100 percent open with all 78 trails. We have top to bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 6 lifts operating, including the Madonna I Lift. Surface conditions are powder and packed powder with average base depths of 20 to 50 inches. 39 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, including Drifter, Goat Path, Timberrrr, Log Jam, Smugglers’ Alley, and Jolly Rodger for a grand total of 146 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Currently, it is snowing and 21 degrees at the summit of Sterling. Tomorrow’s forecast is calling for cloudy skies with a chance of a snow shower and an inch of accumulation possible with a high of 34 degrees at the base and 28 degrees at the summits. Can’t wait to back at it again tomorrow!

Friends, Family, Falling Snow… FUN!

Posted at 3:52 pm

Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. They’re friends, they’re family, they’re here, and they’re having fun!! You’d have fun too if you were here after a week that saw 25 inches of new snow and 76 of 78 trails open. From the tippy top of Madonna Mountain to the highlights of Morse Highlands, it was awesome today. BTW – who is Dog Dempsey?

Who you lookin’ at with a face like that?! Jacob, Haylee, Anna, and Barry having fun on Madonna Mtn.
Haylee navigates through the tropics of Bermuda glades.
Anna’s custom skis. Do you recognize that mountain?
What did one snowperson say to the other snowperson? “Do you smell carrots?”
