Currently, it’s partly sunny and 35 degrees at the summit of Sterling with winds of 15 to 25 mph. Today’s forecast is calling for mostly sunny skies with a high of 42 degrees. We plan to have skiing and riding on all 3 mountains, with 6 lifts operating: Morse Highlands, Village Lift, Sterling, Madonna II, Sir Henry’s Wonder Carpet, and Mogul Mouse’s Magic Lift to the top. We have 23 trails open with terrain for all abilities. 20 trails out of 23 trails have been groomed for today, including Smugglers’ Alley – for a grand total of 86 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surfaces are machine groomed and variable with average base depths of 12 to 48 inches
Today was another beautiful day with partly sunny skies and mild temperatures. I had a wonderful time on all 3 mountains today. I took a few cruiser runs on Morse and checked out the Morse Highlands area. I skied Madonna with my son Hugh B this morning. We skied Upper FIS to the traverse which brings you to Freefall. Freefall skied well with nice edgeable snow and good coverage. I headed over to Sterling later in the afternoon to get my race runs in. I thought that I did pretty good until I watched a few of the club kids run the course. I also had fun watching the Saint Michael’s Race Team slalom gate training on the Practice Slope this afternoon.
