The conditions are already fantastic and we are about to hit the refresh button! Tomorrow we plan to have top to bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 6 lifts operating, including the Madonna I Lift. We have 73 out of 78 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. 38 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, including Drifter, Smugglers’ Alley, Thomke’s Express, Evaporator, and Snow Snake for a grand total of 145 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Upper FIS will be groomed on the skier’s right half from Catwalk down to Dan’s Ford. Surface conditions are machine-groomed and packed powder with average base depths of 16 to 40 inches. Currently, it is 28 degrees at the summit of Sterling with flurries.
