Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Snow was swirling all around Sterling. The lift was turning and the wind was churning. Should I give up blogging and go back to logging?

Today we received 3 to 5 inches of new snow and we have received 32 inches in the past week. The new snow has really made a big difference. It started out with wet snow, which stuck to everything. That was perfect because it allowed the existing snow to bond with the new snow. We opened 31 trails this morning, bringing us up to 75 trails! Sterling and Morse Mountain are 100 percent open.
Looking good

Good Morning from Morse Mountain!
Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Weather… we’ve had it. 27 inches of POW in the past 5 days and some “nippy” temps too. Temps will be rising throughout the day but the sun may go into hiding. I had a great run on Pirate’s Plank yesterday and I highly recommend any gladed trail for your skiing and riding enjoyment.
