Deep powder
Today was simply amazing with all the great snow that we have been receiving in the past week. We received 29 inches of new snow in the past 6 days bringing our season snowfall total to 115 inches! Everything is skiing and riding so well right now, that being said the snow in the trees is really deep. My first run of the day was Upper Exhibition. It was so much fun letting my skis run as they floated through the fresh snow.

Beautiful day
Sterling summit
We received 2 inches of new snow last night and it changed the snow surface. The groomed trails were fantastic with the fresh snow on top of the corduroy. The groomed trails will be very nice again with the new snow mixed in with the existing snow. The new snow also allowed us to open Hangman’s and parts of Upper Exhibition.
Tomorrow’s forecast is calling for cloudy skies with flurries and a snow shower with an inch of accumulation possible and temperatures between 26 and 38 degrees.
15 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, that’s 40 acres of
