The wild climate that we had on Monday left an ice layer on Madonna and Sterling. Now we have obtained a foot of snow since then, which is mild and fluffy. Ungroomed terrain could look very inviting, however as soon as you might be on it, your skis or board will shortly discover the ice layer beneath the snow, particularly on steeper terrain. We plan to do a substantial amount of grooming within the subsequent 36 hours to get extra trails open quickly. After all, extra pure snow by no means hurts, and there are snow showers within the forecast this weekend. The Madonna I Carry shall be closed tomorrow, Friday, January 2, for grooming operations. We plan to reopen the Madonna I Carry on Saturday. Tomorrow, we plan to have 6 lifts working: Village, Sterling, Mogul Mouse’s Magic, Morse Highlands, Sir Henry’s Glider, and Madonna II. Now we have 23 trails open with terrain for all potential ranges. 29 trails shall be groomed for tomorrow, together with Thomke’s, Smugglers’ Alley, Decrease Chilcoot, Log Jam, and Hibernator for a complete of 142 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Floor circumstances are packed powder and machine groomed with common base depths of 14 to 44 inches. At present, it’s partly sunny and -2 levels on the summit of Sterling. Tomorrow’s forecast is partly sunny skies with a slight likelihood of a snow bathe late within the day, a excessive of 10 levels on the base and 6 levels at increased elevations. We obtained 8 inches of recent snow up to now 24 hours and 154 inches this season up to now! Gown heat and luxuriate in the brand new snow.
