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.
