I want to give a shout out to our mountain operations. We appreciate all your hard work to provide the best skiing and riding experience possible. Tomorrow we plan to have the Sterling Lift, Sir Henry’s Glider, and Mogul Mouse’s Magic Lift open to mid-station. Snowmaking continues around the clock on Garden Path, Sam’s Run, Lower Morse Liftline, and the Riglet Park. We have 9 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. All 9 trails will be groomed for tomorrow for a total of 30 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are machine groomed and loose granular with average base depths of 10 to 36 inches. Currently, it is cloudy and 22 degrees at the summit of Sterling with winds of 5 to 10 mph. Tomorrow’s forecast is calling for mostly sunny skies with a high of 21 degrees at the base and 15 degrees at higher elevations.
