Our snowmaking crew just finished up with the skier’s right of Lower Morse Liftline last night. Our groomers have been pushing out the snowmaking whales this morning. They need a little more time to get it ready for skiers and riders, so the Village Lift will have a delayed opening until 9 am. Currently, it is cloudy and 3 degrees at the summit of Sterling with winds of 5 to 10 mph. There is a Winter Weather Advisory for today. Today’s forecast is calling for periods of snow 2 to 4 inches of accumulation possible with a high of 28 degrees at the base and 26 degrees at higher elevations. The temperature and wind speed will be increasing throughout the day. Today we plan to have top-to-bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 6 lifts operating, including the Madonna 1 Lift. We have 75 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. 30 trails have been groomed for today, including Snow Snake, Smugglers’ Alley, and skier’s right on Upper FIS for a total of 160 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are packed powder and machine groomed with average base depths of 14 to 44 inches.
