Surface conditions are packed powder and machine groomed with average base depths of 16 to 54 inches. 35 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, that’s a grand total of 141 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Tomorrow’s forecast is calling for periods of snow 3 to 5 inches of accumulation possible with a high of 36 degrees and windy. Currently it is sunny and 8 degrees at the summit of Sterling.

FOG. Oh yeah, I got some skiing in too. I had to deal with a little bit of Snoop Dog’s favorite kind of precipitation… drizzle… but conditions made it well worth it.
