The day started with a few clouds, but they did not last long. The top of Sterling only warmed up a couple of degrees above freezing today. Mid-mountain and the Village saw temperatures in the 40’s, which produced some nice soft conditions. Our groomers pushed out the snowmaking whales on Snow Snake, and it reopened today. Our terrain park crew was able to get Birch Run open with multiple jumps and rails. I went to Birch Run this afternoon, and it was great to see everyone having fun on the features. Upper Morse Liftline opened again today to give us some expert terrain on Morse. Tomorrow we plan to have top to bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with all 8 lifts operating. We have 61 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. 33 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, including Drifter, Upper FIS, McPherson’s, Snow Snake, Hibernator, Smugglers’ Alley, and Birch Run for a total of 134 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are machine groomed and variable with average base depths of 12 to 36 inches. Currently, it is partly sunny and 33 degrees at the summit of Sterling, with winds of 5 to 15 mph. Tomorrow’s forecast is calling for cloudy skies with a chance of showers mostly late, a high of 46 degrees at the base and 44 degrees at higher elevations.
