Mountains of adventure and mountains of fun

I enjoyed the spring conditions on all 3 mountains today. It was pretty cloudy this morning, but the clouds broke up some this afternoon. I headed for Madonna later in the day to take in the great views. Temperatures will stay above freezing tonight, so we should have more soft conditions tomorrow. We have top-to-bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 6 lifts operating, including the Madonna I Lift. We have 65 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. 24 trails will be groomed for tomorrow for a total of 109 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are machine groomed and spring conditions with average base depths of 8 to 34 inches. Currently, it is cloudy and 41 degrees at the summit of Sterling with winds of 5 to 10 mph. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for cloudy skies, patchy fog, and a chance of a shower, with highs of 41 degrees at the base and 37 degrees at higher elevations.
